Light: Travels 54 million light years across the space Humanity: Forms itself, develops technology and catches it at the last moments Internet: It's blurry doe
Yes...I was thinking that myself earlier! It's like the photograph of the Earth taken from the moon, or the picture taken of the astronaut during the first spacewalk in 1984, or the Pale Blue Dot. They are iconic images that appear in so many textbooks and encyclopedias and are now part of the visual record of our space exploration history. This image is up there with those!
No it won't, information of this magnitude is kept secret from the general population. It's a control method. Schools and colleges are designed to brainwash.
I think it's more impressive that Einstein came up with the general relativity without even having access to any of this tech we have today, he just mathematically predicted its existence. The man was a living super computer.
I remember when the image first released to the public, and people were complaining at how blurry it was. I don’t think they appreciated how incredible it is that we could take a picture of any one thing from over 50 MILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY. Idiots.
Came home after a grueling day at work, absolutely exhausted. Yet, the release of all this research and the image have wonderously lifted my spirit. What a time to be alive.

Like you wanted something with a higher resolution and less fuzziness to match up with being able to see the higher-order mirror reflections around the edge? Agreed, it would be cool, but if we could do it at that resolution now, we would have come up with a really fuzzy one a decade or four ago. Check out the Diffraction Limit, see also Airy Disk. We will get better resolution when we have linked radio observatories deployed in high Earth orbit, then at the Earth - moon Lagrange points. And then at the Earth-sun Lagrange points. Diffraction-limited astronomy is expensive to improve upon when you're already using an Earth-sized aperture.

Still, he is correct. When you put a meter rule against an object for size comparison, that object doesn't automatically become 1m long. He put up the measurement of 50 microarcseconds as a side comparison of how long 40 microarcseconds is. But good observation, though now you can stand corrected.
I'm glad that I could witness this amazing discovery of black hole. My respect to the scientists & engineers who have made this possible by their dedication of hard work on this matter. Thank you all. Keep exploring the Universe.
Indeed, this is a true marvel of modern technology and science. I did a school project about the EHT a few weeks ago. And I see it turned out a lot better than I hoped. It's crazy. Everyone who worked hard on it is completely amazing. Some may say it was pointless, but they typically don't care much for physics. But in reality this is completely monumental. It keeps relativity together, which I believe also allows for relativistic quantum mechanics. I too am glad to be here for a discovery such as this.
@@Acacian141 So many people involved in the process it is highly unlikely to be false. Howevet, you can always check the petabytes of data that were released and get your own conclusions...
"In the year ... 2525 ... if man is still alive ....." Watching the end of "Black Hole" on PBS got me here. They started talking about Black Holes getting bigger by gobbling up stars that got too close. Saying the star would start to spin around the Black Hole before going in. Then before they said it, I said "yeah, but the star would become deformed and get squashed and break apart a bit before it got sucked inside the black hole.". Then the show said pretty much just that, and had animation of star getting deformed.
@Xiao Da NO, not simulated. Pieced together and cleared up. But still it is blurry. Some of what is shown here is simulated, animated, but not the first actual image of the black hole.

We should not forget the hardwork put by everyone, even the janitor's help in making the life of the scientists easier 😊
I have a feeling that was the point... It was a collaboration between many different radio telescopes across the globe that were already established. They needed a telescope the size of the Earth, and this was their way to do it.
B Xo What is it then? Here’s a definition of picture: A representation of anything (as a person, a landscape, a building) upon canvas, paper, or other surface, by drawing, painting, printing, photography, etc. --- It doesn’t say “photo”, it says “picture”. Get that? All photos are pictures, but not all pictures are photos. Any questions?

If Hawking was still alive.... I legit think he'd shed a tear of joy at the sight of such a horrific yet beautiful thing that he had dedicated a part of his life to.. Edit: I wish i was able to disable and delete all the replies under my comment considering all the arguing on religion, atheists, and what-not.

This photo wasn't made by some random photographer. There was preparations for years so i think Hawking knew about it. He just didn't see actual photo of Black hole (It is also possible that he did see attempts to make a photo, so he could see failed photo, so he was sure there is black hole)
@Honudes Gai It's not particularly surprising. There's a jet on either side of the black hole, and if we estimate the angular deviation of the jet from Earth for it to still be "creepy" or unusual as ~20 degrees, then the chance of a jet being unusual is 20/180 ~ 10%. A one out of ten chance is not very low and it only goes up if you still find it unusual at larger angles. I guess it's also a perspective thing. We don't really know the angle that beam is pointing at, even though it has the illusion of pointing at us. Imagine if the jet were flat on the image and instead moving out 90 degrees away from us.
This black hole light travels millions of light years... Via empty space... Via solar system... Via earth... Via telescopes... Via internet... Via phones... And finally to our eyes. Just WOW
"It takes about two days for the plasma to complete one orbit." Two days for an orbit around an event horizon that is as large as our solar system. Let that sink in for a moment. The speed must be insane.
Stunning. Being born in 1955, I've seen the launch of Sputnik, Mercury 1 with Cdr. Alan Sheppard, men walking on the moon, the landing of spacecraft on Mars, an Asteroid and one of our craft (Voyager 1) actually traveling beyond the outermost reaches of our Solar system. Now, images that prove the existence of Black Holes. What a ride...
@@spaceman4330 That would be funny. But, I'm a fan of Stanley Kubrick's films. If anyone could pull off a fake moon landing, he could have. Maybe we just need to look at all the footage from the space program and look for his tell-tale "Easter Eggs." BTW, I admire your name. Is it Romanian? I had a housemate from Cluj, and she was one of the dearest people I ever knew.
You could still see inside a black hole, looking out of the event horizon you would see a lot of blue light, because the gravity would doppler shift the EM radiation. Looking into the black hole you would see nothing.
@Yama Kazoo A reasonable explanation would be that they don't get enough light from a good source to see them, since they're pretty far away from the sun and there isn't another star near us. Someone should correct me on this if I'm wrong.
What an astonishing achievement of mankind! It just makes me sad that Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, Karl Schwarzschild and so many other great scientist didn't get to see this.
I am just SO blown away with the achievement. It sounds so impossible to have done, yet mankind did it. I think this is as monumental a feet as the moon landing and far more difficult.
@@goodassjob7714 light years is distance. But it's the distance light travels in one year on earth.For 365 days on earth light reaches a distance of 1 light year. 5 light years means light travels 5 earth years. So 54 million light years means 54 million earth years time on earth. Any correction?
This is actually so amazing. People assumed that black holes might have not existed, the picture we are seeing is technically a new discovery. It just blows my mind
They probably would have need a telescope double the size of earth or just use large ones peppered all over the world and at certain points of origin.Who knows ?@Noartist
He did not predicted it, it's just he understands it so well to be able to explain what was expected of how it would look like. He even mentioned the image rendered by a simulation used in the movie Interstellar.
You could have showed how blurring the simulated black hole, you get practically the same picture they took, it's just a flex on how f*king good their calculations are, and I love it
It was at slightly different times, but collected the same relativistic data while calculating the distance between the telescopes. And they also did extended exposures to get a different perspective as the earth rotates. The telescopes were also on the same side of the earth ik this is a joke, but just in case someone was wondering
Watermelon Rock they used different telescopes from all over the world to create an array that basically measured radio waves coming off of the black hole. each telescope compiled all their information on hard drives and all of them were sent to the US where they could all be analyzed into a single image. Over 5 petabytes of information was used in creating this single picture. What you’re seeing is a picture in the radio spectrum, not actual visible light
They've apparently had the image since 2017 and have been analyzing it thoroughly. But they havent released it until now, Hawking died 2018 so they might have showed it to him. Who knows.
It's simply scale to scale, black hole mass is massive at amplitudes of 6.5b Solar Masses. However distance is a whole other topic, 26,000 light years is relatively close compared to other things in the universe 6.5b SM is massive compared to other objects. You can't say both sentences in the same line much like how you can't compare the price of Apples to Phones. You'll estimate a phones worth by the relation to the other phones on the market, you don't go estimating apples using phones I hope.

This kinda scared me because this means that the strength is stranger than the length in how far away it is from earth and especially since the wave is pointing almost at us that makes it more scary
For everyone who complains about it being so blurry.

@Justin Torres how are you so sure that you're Justin?
Indeed, this is a true marvel of modern technology and science. I did a school project about the EHT a few weeks ago. And I see it turned out a lot better than I hoped. It's crazy. Everyone who worked hard on it is completely amazing. Some may say it was pointless, but they typically don't care much for physics. But in reality this is completely monumental. It keeps relativity together, which I believe also allows for relativistic quantum mechanics. I too am glad to be here for a discovery such as this.

Wtf
"In the year ... 2525 ... if man is still alive ....." Watching the end of "Black Hole" on PBS got me here. They started talking about Black Holes getting bigger by gobbling up stars that got too close. Saying the star would start to spin around the Black Hole before going in. Then before they said it, I said "yeah, but the star would become deformed and get squashed and break apart a bit before it got sucked inside the black hole.". Then the show said pretty much just that, and had animation of star getting deformed.
@Xiao Da NO, not simulated. Pieced together and cleared up. But still it is blurry. Some of what is shown here is simulated, animated, but not the first actual image of the black hole.
"Any number of experiments cannot prove me right. But a single one can prove me wrong."
Going strong so far, Mr. Einstein.

If Hawking was still alive.... I legit think he'd shed a tear of joy at the sight of such a horrific yet beautiful thing that he had dedicated a part of his life to..

Believe what you want but do not blaspheme the greatest creation given to us that we learn much from, you do not even need to believe to understand this. Hawkin was gifted with greater understanding of Space and time than most of us.
You would think wrong. Hawking had already seen this in his head.

The sad thing about this is that Steven Hawkings died after studying his whole life to find an actual black hole...
This photo wasn't made by some random photographer. There was preparations for years so i think Hawking knew about it. He just didn't see actual photo of Black hole (It is also possible that he did see attempts to make a photo, so he could see failed photo, so he was sure there is black hole)

@Butterball The Clown wow that's really rude why would you say that
I don't like the wording "Almost pointed directly at us"
ikr !! its creepy
same
Perhaps that's how earth was born.
@Honudes Gai It's not particularly surprising. There's a jet on either side of the black hole, and if we estimate the angular deviation of the jet from Earth for it to still be "creepy" or unusual as ~20 degrees, then the chance of a jet being unusual is 20/180 ~ 10%. A one out of ten chance is not very low and it only goes up if you still find it unusual at larger angles.
I guess it's also a perspective thing. We don't really know the angle that beam is pointing at, even though it has the illusion of pointing at us. Imagine if the jet were flat on the image and instead moving out 90 degrees away from us.

You could still see inside a black hole, looking out of the event horizon you would see a lot of blue light, because the gravity would doppler shift the EM radiation. Looking into the black hole you would see nothing.

Things about of speed light can pass through the black hole which is impossible... At the aall universe things will be absorb by B. H
@Yama Kazoo A reasonable explanation would be that they don't get enough light from a good source to see them, since they're pretty far away from the sun and there isn't another star near us. Someone should correct me on this if I'm wrong.

Light years is a distance, not time
@@goodassjob7714 light years is distance. But it's the distance light travels in one year on earth.For 365 days on earth light reaches a distance of 1 light year. 5 light years means light travels 5 earth years. So 54 million light years means 54 million earth years time on earth. Any correction?

@The Truth It's not the image taken by a single camera. In fact it was an image formed by taking many images and club them together.

This is a truly historical image.
This is actually so amazing. People assumed that black holes might have not existed, the picture we are seeing is technically a new discovery. It just blows my mind

Because the earth is flat of course, (what flat earthers don't know won't make then any smarter).
It was at slightly different times, but collected the same relativistic data while calculating the distance between the telescopes. And they also did extended exposures to get a different perspective as the earth rotates. The telescopes were also on the same side of the earth
