The first-ever image of a black hole，a joint effort of more than 200 astronomers worldwide，including 16 from the Chinese mainland，was released on April 10th. It was the first visible [可見的;看得見的] representation of what are considered“the most extreme objects in the universe.”The image depicts the black hole at the heart of Messier 87，a massive，distant galaxy in the Virgo galaxy cluster. It resides 55million light-years from Earth and has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the sun. Itputs to the test Albert Einstein' s Theory of General Relativity put forward in 1915，which allows for a prediction of the size and shape of a black hole. The EventHorizon Telescope，a globe-spanning array of eight ground-based radio telescopes [射電望遠(yuǎn)鏡]，was used to observe the black hole. It took an international scientific team to capture the paradigm-shifting [顛覆性的] image，which was announced through coordinated news conferences around the world.
