Scientists have unveiled the first ever picture of a black hole 😲
The Event Horizon Telescope has been carrying out an international mission to photograph a black hole and its first results were presented at a conference this afternoon.Current theories suggest that black holes are invisible but have a gravitational pull so strong that they suck in light, which leaves the area around them distinguishable and a black circle shaped void in the middle.
The cosmic material which is in close proximity to the edge of a black hole is thought to spin so fast that it actually emits radiation. All of the telescopes involved have been trained to focus on Sagittarius A*, a bright source of radiation at the centre of the Milky Way.
