Revisiting M87's Black Hole: New Data Confirms Einstein's Theory

Astronomers have captured new images of the supermassive black hole in the galaxy Messier 87, confirming predictions made by Einstein's theory of general relativity. The images, produced by the Event Horizon Telescope, show a lumpy doughnut of hot gas circling a dark emptiness, consistent with previous observations. The study also revealed a shift in the brightest part of the ring around the black hole, providing valuable insights into the magnetic field and plasma environment. These findings contribute to our understanding of supermassive black holes and their behavior, paving the way for future research and potentially a black hole movie.
