First Black Hole Picture

First Black Hole Picture

Verse 1:
55 million light years from Earth
We have the picture that can not be taken
Gas and dust circling the unseeable
The picture of no light, a black hole

Chorus:
Thank you Event Horizon Telescope
For bringing us Messier 87

Verse 2:
The Event Horizon Telescope is
Comprised of 8 telescopes around the world
Linked by an atomic clock
Focused In the Virgo galaxy (cluster)

Bridge:
2 years to unpack and analyze

Verse 3:
Seeing the unseeable
The gas and dust circling the hole
Using Continuous high-level image reconstruction
Global scientific collaboration

Outro:
First Black Hole Picture

Messier 87
April 2019
It has finally happened
A picture of no light
A picture of what happens when light cannot escape
Light is trapped like a fish in a tank
Katie Bouman from MIT led the development of an algorithm
