An international team of scientists and astronomers have just given humanity its first-ever look at a black hole.
TheĀ Event Horizon TelescopeĀ (EHT) project is an international partnership that have shared anĀ āunprecedentedā and āgroundbreakingā image of a black hole, something which human eyes have never before laid eyes upon.
The breakthrough in astrophysics has provided humanity with insight into the celestial monster known as a black hole, a collection of collapsed stars so powerful that space and time becomes distorted. Black holes pull in anything nearby with unfathomable force and gravity, even pulling in light.
Simultaneous conferences were held in Brussels, Santiago, Shanghai, Taipei, and Tokyo.
According toĀ Space.com,Ā astronomersĀ orchestrated radio dish telescopes across the world into an Earth-size virtual camera to deliver the first-ever image of a black hole.

Researchers claim the groundbreaking findings will help further support Einsteinās Theory of Relativity, which was first announced in 1915.
