Sabo 442 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Maybe I'm not sure how camera's work or how a black hole works but shouldn't this be impossible to do? Light can't escape a black hole and camera's work by capturing light... So... how is this possible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Light can't escape a black hole and camera's work by capturing light... So... how is this possible? They captured an image of the supermassive black hole and its shadow at the center of a galaxy known as M87. This is the first direct visual evidence that black holes exist, the researchers said. In the image, a central dark region is encapsulated by a ring of light that looks brighter on one side. The massive galaxy, called Messier 87 or M87, is near the Virgo galaxy cluster 55 million light-years from Earth. The supermassive black hole has a mass that is 6.5 billion times that of our sun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That ring is a bright disk of gas orbiting the supermassive behemoth in the galaxy M87, and the spot is the black hole’s shadow." https://www.sciencenews.org/article/black-hole-first-picture-event-horizon-telescope?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=r_science Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,227 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The bright stuff are gases, but they would've purposely altered the image with filters to highlight the gases. So, it wouldn't actually look like that to the human eye. There was this youtube video I saw this morning that really did a great job explaining it. Its pretty cool that Interstellar got it pretty correctly. The brighter side of orange that you are seeing is the light that is traveling AWAY from your eyes, but because it got close to the black hole, the black hole bent the light and pulled it around, kind of like wrapped it around its sphere, and the light is now coming back at your eyes.
