By @farhoudmeybodi : “Astronomers have just taken the first ever image of a black hole, one the most mysterious objects in the universe. The black hole itself – a cosmic trapdoor with a diameter stretching 38 billion kilometers, from which neither light nor matter can escape – is totally unseeable. But this photograph reveals a beautiful halo of dust and gas, tracing the outline of a colossal black hole, at the heart of the Messier 87 galaxy, 55 million light years from Earth. Black holes were first predicted by Einstein’s theory of relativity – although Einstein himself was skeptical that they actually existed. Since then, astronomers have accumulated overwhelming evidence that these cosmic sinkholes are out there, including recent detection of gravitational waves that ripple across the cosmos when pairs of them collide. The breakthrough image was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a network of eight radio telescopes spanning locations from Antarctica to Spain and Chile, in an effort involving more than 200 scientists. This magical photo is our first glimpse of a black hole’s accretion disk, a fuzzy doughnut-shaped ring of gas and dust that steadily feeds the monster within. I mean how much more esoteric can this whole thing get? We’re quite literally gazing into the womb of the universe, which is a manifestation of darkness and shadow, not light. And if you venture too close to this mythic force and cross “event horizon,” you'll never escape. It boggles my mind how similar the macro of the universe is to the micro within each of us. Every one is us has a shadow deep within. A hidden place where we suppress the darkness of our childhood traumas. But this pain isn’t the end, only the beginning. By journeying into the shadow, which is a Herculean task, we break through to the other side, into the light, the joy, the possibility. And ironically, the only way we can truly grasp the gravity of this monumental force is through true collaboration from different points of being. The black hole is our gateway to nirvana. And looking into the depths of this 38 billion kilometer space womb, I can’t help but feel all my ridiculous worries and...” (cont below)

Katie Bouman led development of a computer program that made the breakthrough image possible. The remarkable photo, showing a halo of dust and gas 500 million trillion km from Earth, was released on Wednesday... For Dr Bouman, its creation was the realisation of an endeavour previously thought impossible. The effort to capture the image, using telescopes in locations ranging from Antarctica to Chile, involved a team of more than 200 scientists. "No one of us could've done it alone," she told CNN. "It came together because of lots of different people from many different backgrounds."... The black hole image, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) - a network of eight linked telescopes - was rendered by Dr Bouman's algorithm.” - BBC #KatieBouman

astro_liz Hai ?? - astronomer here!!! I just want to pop up and say - no one person “took” this picture (it’s a complex analysis that is like black magic - I see this stuff come out the telescopes and it’s a hot mess, believe me) - over 200 astronomers, engineers and telescope operators INCLUDING Katie Bouman, OTHER WOMEN (who I hope weren’t all white) and BIPOC made this possible. Several other algorithms were run on the data, not just hers. We shouldn’t build up one white woman at the expense of all the other people that contributed to this (which, to be clear, doesn’t include me!!)

blackacademic @mattmcgorry Say her name. @dr.katiebouman celebrate the woman in STEM who do the work to make things like this happen. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwHlN76BtIS/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=18mosxi536dz8

lucianaassai @glamgirljaayxo And if it was not a nightmare, but who knows just a revelation? ?? The universe speaks to us through dreams too, with me always! ???

officialraul_fernandes Looking for honest and loyal sugar baby and single mum. Monthly and weekly allowance $$ ????........ Fake profiles don't hmu

liv.alive The amazing woman behind this needs to be acknowledged every time her discovery is mentioned. #KatieBouman
