The year that just ended (2019) marked another first for mankind. On April 10th, the world was treated to something unprecedented: the first-ever image of a black hole.
Specifically, the image captured the Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) at the center of M87, a supergiant elliptical galaxy in the Virgo constellation.
This accomplishment drew on years of hard work involving astronomers, observatories, and scientific institutions from all around the world.
