event horizon telescope data is like an incomplete puzzle set. we only see pieces of the real true image. then we have to fill in this gap of the missing pieces. to construct the physically possible image that is actually matching ourur data. astronomers want to explore how matter can disappear from our world forever. and take a deeper look into einstein's theory of relativity and his initial theory on black holes. >> from a distance, black holes seem wondrous but up close, they are the most terrifying things in the universe. >> this is an exciting story especially for those who are 's. we are joined by a fellow . good to have you on the program. why are black holes so dangerous? we heard in the story -- thehe astronomomers said they arere incrcrediblyly dangerous. why? >> i wouldld not call them dadaerous unlnless you g get rey close to thehem. if youou are far a away, it behs like any other star. if y you get r really clclose a blackhole, closese to the evenet horizozon, this isis a p pnt ofo return. youou were to movove at the spd of light, yo

earlier this month the event horizon telescope project is that it would be releasing a groundbreaking announcement now days to come now the public finally gets to see the very first payment of a super black hole thanks to science artie's rachel bobbins has the details. for the first time ever an image of an actual black hole has been released to the public but a long awaited revelation came on wednesday as the first results of the event horizon telescope project where showcased at press conferences around the world black holes have captivated the imaginations of scientists in the public for decades in fact we've been studying black holes so long that sometimes it's easy to forget that none of us has actually seen one scientist gathered here in washington d.c. where they told us that this groundbreaking discovery has been gears in the making just read a multi-year complain to to set up the hardware to set up a team to set up the computer programs to run the lives that they need to see what we're talking a least ten years two hundred plus people from many different countries around the

scientists with the event horizon telescope project unveiled this photo this morning right here in d.c. the photo was capturedy using, get this, eight telescopes around the world over a five-day period. scientists say in order to take this photo, each telescope had to achieve the highest resolution possible from the surface of the earth. it is the equivalent of being able to read the date on a quarter in los angeles while standing right here in washington, d.c. >> wow! >> yeah. so when that was achieved, history was made. >> in april ofll 2017 of the dishes in the event horizon telescope swirled and turned and stared at a galaxy 55 million light years away. it is called m-87. and there is a supermblsive k hole at its core. and we are delighted to be able to report t you today that we have seen what we thought was unseeable.nd we have seen taken a picture of a black hole. >> you canr he enthusiasm dn his voice and see it on his face. ust to put the size of this into perspective, it is 6.5 billion times more massive than the sun. not even fathomable. >> you can't. can't even imagine. >>

the event horizon telescope has spent two years gathering signals from the black hole at the center of our galaxy. the telescope is actually a global network of syncro noised radio observatories are coordinated with atomic clocks to synchronize them and all that data is combined after the fact in two. it was called a correlator and that correlator is ultimately produces data that can be constructed into an image. and that image will be the first time astronomers and the rest of us earthlings will have a direct visual representation of a black hole along with a powerful gamma radiation that admits as it pulls up matter of burst so strong and so final astronomers call it the death scream of a doomed star. fascinating stuff let's talk about rex it now british prime minister tourism a is facing members of parliament in her weekly prime minister's question time later today though she'll be heading back to brussels where e.u. leaders are expected to grant a second delay to the u.k. leaving the bloc may will be requesting an extension until june thirtieth but the e.u. leaders are expected to
