For the first time ever scientists have captured a photo of a Black Hole. The photos of the M87 black hole, which is 55 million lightyears from Earth, were taken using the Event Horizon Telescope or EHT. It is also 1 million times bigger than our planet and the EHT needed the same level of detail equivalent to seeing a date on a quarter from L.A. to D.C. in order to capture this historic moment.
