@IngridHbn so, is the sharper look at the first image of a black hole useless?

From the article by the U.S. National Science Foundation National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab):

"Machine learning reconstructs new image of Messier 87 from Event Horizon Telescope data

"A team of researchers, including an astronomer with NSF NOIRLab, has developed a new machine-learning technique to enhance the fidelity and sharpness of radio interferometry images. To demonstrate the power of their new approach, which is called PRIMO, the team created a new, high-fidelity version of the iconic Event Horizon Telescope's image of the supermassive black hole at the center of Messier 87, a giant elliptical galaxy located 55 million light-years from Earth. …"

Meanwhile we wait for world's first photograph of dark matter (Signal One reference joke), NASA's Chandra X-ray spacecraft have captured the most detailed image yet of the jet erupting from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87), yes the very same black hole to be imaged by humanity back in 2019 and 2025 respectively.

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, https://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2041-8205/page/Focus_on_EHT. #EHTBlackHole
