n April 2019, scientists released the first image of a black hole in the galaxy M87 using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).
However, that remarkable achievement was just the beginning of the science story to be told.
Data from 19 observatories are being released that promise to give unparalleled insight into this black hole and the system it powers, and to improve tests of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) participated in the EHT observations in April 2017, and also produced an image of the larger scale jet emanated from the vicinity of the massive black hole.
