  3. Katie Bouman, informaticienne et scientifique américaine, a développé l'algorithme qui a permis de reconstituer la première image d'un trou noir. twitter.com/floragraham/status

    En 2016, elle expliquait sa méthode lors d'une présentation TEDx youtube.com/watch?v=P7n2rYt9wf

  6. ♲ @[email protected]: 3 years ago MIT grad student Katie Bouman led the creation of a new algorithm to produce the first-ever image of a black hole.

    Today, that image was released.

  7. The first image EVER of a black hole.
    About 6.5 billion times more massive than the sun, 40 billion km wide. We believe it is one of the largest that could exist.
    What a great time to be alive !

    Y sí, poder tomarla fue tan increíble como suena 📡✨🌑✨ #EHTBlackHole #ilustracion #AgujeroNegro

    Computer scientist Katie Bouman and her awesome stack of hard drives for #EHTblackhole image data 😍 — reminds me of Margaret Hamilton and her Apollo Guidance Computer source code. 👩🏽‍🔬

  10. What does today's black hole image news mean? Our @ChandraXRay Observatory team puts it into perspective and shares just what a difficult feat it was for @NSF and @EHTelescope to obtain the new black hole image. Read more about #EHTBlackHole: chandra.si.edu/blog/node/719?l 

  11. That new #EHTBlackHole 🕳 image was taken using Earth 🌏 itself! By synchronizing radio telescopes 🔭 located around the planet to gather observations, the science team was able to turn the whole planet into a giant telescope.

  12. The first direct image of a #BlackHole taken by the Event Horizon Telescope. The image shows the black hole at the center of #Messier87, a massive galaxy in the Virgo galaxy cluster. This black hole resides 55 million light years from Earth and has a mass 6.5 billion M☉. Six peer-reviewed papers were published today in a special issue of ApJ Letters, iopscience.iop.org/journal/204. #EHTBlackHole

  13. History is being made! A global network of telescopes has been working to capture the first ever image of a black hole. Follow along as @NSF shares the groundbreaking result at 9am ET of the #EHTBlackHole. Tune in: nsf.gov/news/special_reports/b twitter.com/NSF/status/1115956
