The recording was made possible by observations with the “Event Horizon Telescope”, a merger of eight radio observatories on four continents to form a kind of super telescope. The featured image actually shows the surroundings of the supermassive black hole, since the objects themselves are inherently invisible. A dark central region is seen surrounded by a bright ring structure.
It is the second picture ever taken of a black hole. In 2019, researchers presented the first ever image of the immediate vicinity of a black hole, but located in another galaxy.
More about the picture you can in this post from the program “Research current”.
