Historical moment! reveal the picture ‘black hole’ In the center of the Milky Way by the teamastronomer European Southern Observatory (ESO) which uses the network radio telescope Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) confirm prophecy Einstein’s Theory of Relativity
update astronomy news On Thursday, May 12, 2022 at 8:00 p.m. Thailand time on Facebook NARIT National Astronomical Research Institute Has reported the discovery of the first image of the black hole “Sagittarius A*” (Sagittarius A Star), abbreviated as Sgr A*, at the center of the Milky Way. by a team of European Southern Observatory (ESO) astronomers using the network The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) radio telescope, a supermassive black hole. center of the Milky Way According to Einstein’s predictions regarding the theory of relativity
Back in 1933, astronomers discovered a mysterious source of radio waves. from the center of the Milky Way galaxy in the position of the constellation Archer The current image of the black hole “Sagittarius A*” (Sagittarius A Star) has found important evidence that stars and hot gas orbiting the object. It is so fast that this object must have a great gravitational force. within a very small volume which corresponds to the properties of supermassive black holes
In 2020, astronomers Reinhard Genzel and Andrea M. Ghez jointly receive the Nobel Prize in Physics with Roger Penrose for their discovery of evidence for the existence of a black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Which is considered a great discovery of the field of astronomy. in decades
Because there has never been any evidence of a black hole “Sagittarius A*” (Sagittarius A Star) before. This discovery is also the first real image of a black hole on Earth.
which images of black holes that have been seen comes from technology, scientific instruments It took five years to develop, the first image of the supermassive black hole Sgr A* at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. This image has been linked from More than 8 radio astronomy observatories around the world under the EHT network to collect data. comparable to a telescope as large as the world
by “Black Hole” is a mysterious object with a very high gravity that even light cannot escape In which we can observe the bright hot gas surrounding the black hole, forming a ring around the black shadow, a region known as Event Horizon of a black hole
