Abstract:<\/strong> Scientists pictured a black hole for the \u00acrst time in great detail. This was achieved through a global network of radio dishes called “The Event Horizon Telescope” and produced the the \u00acrst-ever\u00ac direct image of a black hole. The existence of black holes was \u00acrst proposed by physicists nearly a century ago following Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, but the evidence was indirect. The Event Horizon Telescope now con\u00acrmed theoretical predictions and once more demonstrated that “a picture is worth a thousand words”. There are more than one black holes in the universe and the attention of astrophysicist was concentrated on M87 and Sagittarius A* since 2017. The \u00acrst clean picture came from M87 and it took two years to put together the data. It is now possible to observe that M87 is spinning clockwise in the sky. Scientists are now studying to understand how the black hole produces it gigantic jets. <\/p>\n Professor G\u00fcrses will discuss the science behind the observations and what lies ahead.
