In April 2019, scientists around the world made history when they unveiled the first-ever image of a black hole to the public. This groundbreaking achievement was the result of years of work by a global team of researchers who collaborated across borders and disciplines to capture and analyze the image. The image was taken using a network of eight telescopes located around the world, collectively known as the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). These telescopes were synchronized using atomic clocks and operated simultaneously to observe two supermassive black holes in distant galaxies, known as Messier 87 (M87) and Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). Black holes are incredibly dense objects with gravitational fields so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape once it crosses the event horizon – the point of no return. This makes them notoriously difficult to observe directly since they do not emit any light or radiation that can be detected by telescopes. Instead, scientists must rely on indir
