This result provides overwhelming evidence that the object is indeed a black hole and yields valuable clues about the workings of such giants, which are thought to reside at the centre of most galaxies. The image was produced by a global research team called the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration, using observations from a worldwide network of radio telescopes. Astronomers from Æ»¹ûÒùÔº were part of this global effort.</p> Thu, 12 May 2022 16:34:23 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 288139 at /newsroom
