Dennis Overbye at the New York Times said this morning (April 10, 2019) that astronomers with the Event Horizon Telescope are preparing to release the first-ever photo of a black hole event horizon. The release is expected today at 14 UTC (9 a.m. Eastern time in North America). Scientists are holding multiple news conferences around the world. You can watch one news conference on the National Science Foundation’s website, or in the video player embedded above. The Times article said:
For some years now, scientific literature, news media and films have featured remarkably sophisticated and academic computer simulations of black holes. If all has gone well, the images today will reveal the real thing, and scientists at last will catch a glimpse of what had seemed unseeable.
More from EarthSky: How soon will we see the black hole at the Milky Way’s heart?
Bottom line: First-ever black hole photo – what astronomers have called the “shadow” of the event horizon – expected this morning (April 10, 2019) at 13 UTC (9 a.m. Eastern)
