    hey, if you want to help us make more videos like this, I want to tell you about the Vox Video L-WAIT DON'T GO! just give me a second- At the end of this i'm going to share a great gif so standby. So the Video Lab is a membership program we set up so that viewers could support our work directly. If one of our videos has ever been worth the price of a mediocre sandwich to you, think about joining the Video Lab (wait just checked - you can't even get a $5 footlong at Subway anymore!). Being a member gives you access to behind-the-scenes videos and q&as, but most importantly, it really helps keep our channel and team sustainable and you can cancel anytime. here's where you can learn more and sign up: bit.ly/vox-video-membership
    ok i thank you dearly for listening and here is your well-earned gif: gfycat.com/ConstantDecimalKarakul

      You probably didnt tell him the parts left out of the Vox and every other lazy media piece. That we never took a photo of a black hole and the image you see is one of several possible models generated by a algorithm based on data from slices of the actual object taken by the telescopes. That their actual paper literally presents several possible computer generated models.

      This is not in our galaxy, nor anywhere near it. It is around 27 times further away then the andromeda galaxy, which itself is over 2 million light years away. It is the super massive black hole at the center of Messier 87, an extremely large and luminous elliptical galaxy in the virgo cluster. Using the same techinques, we may be able to take a more detailed picture of andromeda's (M31) super-massive black hole, but I am not really well educated on what was needed to take a pic of M87.

    • @greylepoard
      @greylepoard 5 лет назад +46

      The milky way is not 54 million light years across. This image is the supermassive black hole from M87 which is nearly 2000 times more massive than our own and 25 billion miles across, and actually produced a clearer image than the one at the centre of our galaxy despite being "only" 25000 ly away.

This is taking raw data as in dots on a piece of paper and then getting an artist to render it into a picture of what they think it would look like.

This photo just means that they prove the old dude theory is right and that added further explaination of our galaxy and its gravity. Coz for centuries, all the black hole photos that exist in books and internet are just mere illustration and this is the first real photo of a black hole, though its blurred.

      They did not really take the black hole's photo. They took the photo of the light that surrounds it. Since we need light to take pictures, or to "see" stuff especially that far it would be close to impossible (unless we invent cameras or telescopes that don't need light to gather data) to take the picture of the actual black hole, because its literally without light. I think there's stuff in there but we can't see it unless we have a lightsource inside the black hole. It is really cool though, how we were able to piece this one picture. I wish Einstein and Hawkins could see this.

      That's the point - artist's interpretations are based off the predictions of General Relativity. The fact that it looks exactly as General Relativity predicts is more evidence proving General Relativity is true.

      They used radio telescope. The quality is inconsiderably crisp. Every "pixel" for the telescope is *nanometers* (1 millionth of a millimeter)in size; compared to commercial resolution 0.5mm or so. Every pixel on your 720p, 1080p, or 1440p phone is probably somewhere close to this, but radiowaves......This is currently the limit of humanity's resolution image for something that far away
