Five years ago to this day, 🇪🇺#EUfunded researchers unveiled the first ever image of a black hole! This major achievement provided the first direct visual evidence of the existence of a #RealBlackHole, pushing the boundaries of modern science. 👉 europa.eu/!nC87Ux
#OTD 5 years ago, the @ehtelescope (EHT) shared the first image ever of a #BlackHole! The black hole was M87*, and since then, the EHT also imaged Sgr A* (the black hole at the heart of our galaxy) and both objects in polarised light. Can you say which image matches each? 1/
#OTD in 2019, @ehtelescope “snapped” the first image of a black hole — M87* at the center of galaxy M87. Scientists have studied it for years, because of its stunning jet. Watch this zoom-in of M87 with visible, X-ray, and radio images, ending on that historic black hole image.
🥳5 years since the first image of a #BlackHole 🌀 @ehtelescope collab 📡📡📡🌎

EHT・コラボレーションは、史上初の撮影に成功したM87の巨大ブラックホールについて新たな観測画像を公開しました グリーンランド望遠鏡がネットワークに参加し、またデータの記録速度が向上したことで、M87ブラックホールの新たな姿が明らかとなりました nao.ac.jp/news/science/2… #国立天文台
🌀M87* @ehtelescope One year later: proof of the persistent shadow of a black hole. The stability of the diameter measured in the 2017 to 2018 images strongly supports the conclusion that M87* is well described by general relativity. 🔗almaobservatory.org/en/press-relea…
The @ehtelescope — to which ESO contributes through its involvement in @almaobs and @ApexTelescope — has unveiled a new image of the supermassive #BlackHole in the M87 galaxy, 55 million light-years away! 1/ 📡〰️⚫️
Yep, Einstein is STILL right! New images of the supermassive M87* region confirm "the shadow of the #blackhole" predicted by general relativity –a huge milestone & further indication that we're truly seeing a black hole. bit.ly/3O7Zb73 @almaobs @TheNRAO 📸 @ehtelescope

The gorgeous polarized image of Sgr A* is finally out! So so proud of this result, and leading this project alongside @RicarteAstro the last two years has been quite the experience! Look at this beauty!!

Magnetic fields are everywhere in the galaxy, also near the supermassive black hole. Actually, the Sgr A* ring emission is caused by electrons gyrating around these magnetic field lines in a deep gravitational potential of the black hole. Figure credit: @SaraIssaoun @ehtelescope
New research from the @ehtelescope collaboration reveals the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy in unprecedented detail, marking a milestone in black hole astronomy. Read more: hubs.ly/Q02qVNKg0
New view of the Milky Way supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* in polarized light #sgrapolarization For the first time polarization, a signature of magnetic fields, has been measured at the edge of SgrA*. The lines mark the orientation of the polarization. Credit: @ehtelescope
Proudly presenting brand new image of Sgr A* supermassive black hole. This time in polarized light, unveiling magnetic fields around the event horizon of Sgr A*. Only @ehtelescope can give us access to such detail view of conditions near black holes. eventhorizontelescope.org/blog/astronome…
New EHT image in ApJL: Strong magnetic fields spiral around SgrA*, seen in polarised light for the 1st time. Similarity to M87 suggests strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes. @someJIVE says new tools were essential for this result: jive.eu/news/new-eht-i…
