Black holes still remain a mystery. Scientists involved in the Event Horizon Telescope project pursued this secret. A few years ago the team gave us the first photo of a black hole ever. Now they’ve given us the most detailed photo of a black hole ever. Here are the details…
The Event Horizon Telescope has sent the most detailed black hole photo ever taken!
The universe is full of mysteries. As technology develops and humanity sets its sights on space, the veil of mystery is slowly being lifted. The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) team went after black holes. The EHT team had revealed the photo of the black hole at the center of Messier 87 (M87) for the first time. The team continued its work without slowing down. With the help of a new telescope, he managed to take the most detailed photo of a black hole.
Even though it’s the most detailed photo of a black hole yet, it’s still not crystal clear. Unfortunately there is no real way to make the photo crystal clear. Because black holes are one of the most powerful forces in the entire universe. It also literally absorbs light, gas, and dust around it. Therefore, it does not seem possible to take a photo with crystal clear details. Nevertheless, the whole world had the opportunity to meet the most detailed black hole photo, thanks to the devoted work of the team.
So how did astronomers obtain this more detailed image? Scientists have investigated Doppler/Einstein effects, which cause a black hole to appear brighter on one side. Researchers examined the image taken in 2017 and 2019. They discovered that the highlight shifted to the right between capturing the two images. In this way, they were able to obtain a sharper and more detailed image.
Scientists plan to capture multiple images of a black hole in the future. In fact, researchers want to create the first video of a black hole from the photographs it captures. They think this work will help showcase the chaotic nature of the black hole.
