'I was in total disbelief,' said Bouman, a computer scientist with the Event Horizon Telescope project, about seeing the first-ever image of a black hole.
Scientists have revealed the first-ever image of a black hole. The picture is the result of a global collaboration in which scientists linked together telescopes virtually to create one, huge, Earth-sized telescope.
Ahead of the documentary, Newsweek interviewed EHT scientist Katie Bouman about what obtaining an image of a black hole actually means. Bouman is the computer scientist who developed one of the algorithms used to decode the data.A black hole is a singularity, where matter has collapsed into an infinitely small point in space. Gravity is so strong around a black hole that, once too close, nothing can escape its pull, not even light.
