TL;DR Summary

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is working on creating the first-ever movie of a black hole, specifically the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy Messier 87 (M87). This revolutionary experiment aims to capture changes in the black hole over a 60-day period, providing insights into its dynamics, time dilation, and impact on surrounding galaxies. The project involves over 400 scientists and requires significant technological upgrades to the EHT's array of telescopes. If successful, the video could revolutionize our understanding of black holes and space-time.
