The world got a glimpse(一瞥) of one of the greatest
mysteries of our universe(宇宙) on April 10.
That′s when the
first image of a black hole was shown to the public. The picture was
created by a network of eight radio telescopes(射电望远镜).
"We
have seen what we thought was unseeable, "says Shep Doeleman. He led
the effort to create the image.
The black hole
is at the center of galaxy (星系)named Messier 87, some 55 million light﹣years
from the earth, and is 6.5 billion times the mass of the sun.
The image shows
the gas, dust, and stars that move around the black hole before disappearing
into it. It does not truly show the black hole, because not even light can
escape its gravity. Black holes, like vacuums, suck(吸)in everything that gets
too close.
