A Famous Black Hole Gets a Second Look From Astronomers


Renowned Black Hole Reaffirms Einstein's Theory Astronomers have revisited the supermassive black hole in the Messier 87 galaxy and found it to behave as predicted by Einstein's theory. This comes after the Event Horizon Telescope's 2017 groundbreaking image of the black hole. A recent study reveals that the black hole continues to exhibit the expected features, further confirming the accuracy of prior observations. The study also uncovered a 30-degree shift in the brightest area of the black hole's ring, providing valuable insights into the surrounding environment. These findings reinforce our understanding of black holes and their adherence to the laws of physics. The team plans to expand their network and eventually create a "black hole movie," promising more discoveries in the future.
