Event Horizon Telescope managed to capture images of supermassive black holes for the first time ever.
The event Horizon Telescope works with a network of radio telescopes worldwide that all work together to observe the same object in space.
The network of telescopes are located at the South Pole and Greenland , meaning the network covers the planet from top to bottom.
The EHT was able to take these historic pictures thanks to being able to operate at a radio wavelength of 1.3 mm .
At this wavelength, the so-called “photon ring” of the black hole appears blurred.
