Observatories around the world all focused telescopes at one specific black hole, which sort of created a telescope the size of earth. They are filtering through the data, because telescopes took pictures at different wavelengths, and they’ll use all of that to create a single picture of what a black hole would look like if we physically laid eyes on it ourselves.
All of the pictures were taken a while back, now we are just waiting on them to sort through it all
The photo. It’s blurry, but this is the first one. This was history I’m glad I witnessed.
