I very much dislike how lemmy overwrites the URL after you include an image....
Thanks for linking.
The ngEHT expansion will enable the array to make real-time movies of supermassive black holes on event horizon scales. These movies will resolve detailed structure and dynamics near the event horizon, bringing into focus "strong-field" gravity features predicted by General Relativity as well as the interplay of accretion and relativistic jet-launching that sculpts large-scale structures in the Universe.
What am I to make of this? 42?

Did you meant to add some article to this headline?
Yes. Fixed now. I'm super frustrated by the way lemmy overwrites the URL when you add an image.
Damn, these pictures are starting to get really clear
Itβs not quite an image of what you would see with your eyes. The lines are based on the polarization of the light.
Wouldn't it be hilarious to discover in the distant future that some astronomical object just happens to look blurry even at perfect resolution because the object is just blurry in appearance?
You've seen the real big foot haven't you...
Soon enough the pictures will be clear enough to show that the supermassive object at the center of the universe is in fact your mom.
