It all starts with a curiosity; M87.


Souce


In 2019 we managed to see the invisible, for the first time in history we managed to capture the image of a black hole, it was M87 which is in a galaxy 55 million light years away, it is not a photo as such, but a reconstruction made with radio telescopes from around the planet.


But there was a ring of fire warped by gravity surrounding a mysterious shadow, the hole; It was an incredible moment, until then we knew that black holes existed, but only because of their effects, this was the first time we saw their silhouette enveloped by a glowing and agitated gas accumulation disk. In addition, it confirmed the presence and size of a powerful plasma jet and we were able to appreciate it with our own eyes.


And the most amazing thing is that it fit perfectly with what Einstein had predicted a century before, using mathematics, his knowledge and his great imagination.
