In April 2019, a huge success was achieved in the space exploration of mankind. Event Horizon Telescope, managed to image a black hole for the first time in history. The photo of the black hole in our light for 53 million years has now passed through the hands of artificial intelligence.
Scientists, including the names of the team that imaged the black hole Messier 87, artificial intelligence PRIMO worked through. Of course, this processing process not only provided reference images, but also 30,000 high-resolution simulated images created for the black hole. The result was this:
New version of the first photo of a black hole:
What does this image tell us?
Lia Medeiros, who is part of the team behind the research, explained that the new PRIMO technique allowed them to obtain the clearest resolution of the black hole. Since we cannot observe black holes up close, it is also necessary to use high-resolution images to learn more about the behavior of these structures. will be of great importance expressed.
It was also stated that the newly created image is in line with the original data and theoretical expectations about the black hole. Research, in The Astrophysical Journal published.
