[00:00:00]In 2019, a telescope stared at one spot of skies. 10 days of staring revealed something no telescope [music] had ever seen.

[00:00:09]M87, a galaxy 53 million light-years away.

[00:00:15]The Event [music] Horizon Telescope synchronized eight observatories into one Earth-sized instrument. Katie Bouman led the algorithm [music] that combined the data. The 2019 paper in Astrophysical Journal Letters confirmed what Einstein predicted [music] in 1915, a black hole's shadow against its glowing accretion disk. The orange ring you have seen everywhere since. Like the video to see the long form on cosmic imaging. The research is real.
