In the Shadow of the Black Hole

In the Shadow of the Black Hole 1,013,758 viewsApr 10, 2019 European Southern Observatory (ESO) 218K subscribers The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) — a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration — was designed to capture images of a black hole. In coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers revealed that they succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow. This 17-minute film explores the efforts that led to this historic image, from the science of Einstein and Schwarzschild to the struggles and successes of the EHT collaboration.

It is good to see so many nations and researchers from all over the world, this is what should always happen in scientific research in every field. Union is always a great strength. Congratulations on your great success. I hope that this will always continue so many thanks to the whole group.🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❣️ 3 Raymar Football Raymar Football 3 years ago Humanity has truly come a long way 637 James P James P 3 years ago Congratulations to all on the EHT team!!!! What a spectacular achievement!!! 5 Okkarator Okkarator 3 years ago Thanks to everybody who have been part of the EHT. The result and what you’ve done is incredible and let’s me trust in human kind, although we live in mad, crazy times. 2 Veronica Gorosito Veronica Gorosito 3 years ago Magnificent and impecable work! Thank you all who made this possible, what a time we're living on!!!! 1 playlist playlist 2 years ago Their team did a great job.. But I think they also break the record for most data collected and the longest time taken to take a picture.. wonderful job 9 uy7yu uy7yu 2 years ago Well done to everyone involved, and what a nicely made video ESO. I wish I would of been involved in the project. 1 vishal kasture vishal kasture 3 years ago Kudos to the whole team For such an incredibly marvellous Discovery. Your efforts undoubtedly deserve global glory.love you all guys Lukas Smisovsky Lukas Smisovsky 3 years ago Awesome achievement guys! May the black holes continue leading you on your journey where the light goes! 1 Khan Jee Khan Jee 3 years ago In past we see storms(cyclones) on Earth, now we see it in the space, in the shape of black holes. It's really amazing and the most powerful phenomena of not only the universe but in fact the multiverse. 3 Ilán Pretz Ilán Pretz 3 years ago Congratulations to each and every one of those who made this scientific effort possible, you are the true superheroes of science, I want the universe to reward you with more successes, more revealing answers and the satisfaction of new great discoveries. NiklasAdv NiklasAdv 3 years ago i can watch science like this all day without getting bored. its fantastic what the future will bring in hundreds of year! 77 Riju Singh Riju Singh 3 years ago (edited) What we've achieved till this day is really unprecedented & what we can achieve further is unimaginable. We've seen a black hole now !!!!!! (doesn't matter whether it's a shadow) Amazing!!!!! Such collaborations should also be done for relatively nearby objects as well. Our observations will be refined to the greatest ever achieved !! I know it's costly but it'll unravel great mysteries for sure. 14 Chris Husted Chris Husted 2 years ago I was very excited to see the picture. I hope you can get even better pictures in the future. The Snowmobile just transports your data to Amazon where you store it with resilience. This was a cool project and I'm glad you were able to pull it off! ras351 ras351 3 years ago Looks pretty much like the science fi depictions. Kinda amazing something really looks like the imagined versions. I wonder if they could use the same technique to see earth like planets in other solar systems? Subram C Subram C 3 years ago Salute you all for this unprecedented achievement by global collaboration. I watched this more than once and I am exhilarated upon this work and congratulate you all. I am waiting for further discoveries about our universe like" what are quasars", what actually is gravity? etc. Subramanian Areekode, Kerala, India Stoom Cursus Stoom Cursus 3 years ago How epic to be able to whitness something like this! Can't wait to see what other great things will be discovered in the future. 1 Vickylance Vickylance 3 years ago Its good to live in a time frame where we first did a Black Hole simulation and got the first Actual Black Hole image at the same time 122 judgegixxer judgegixxer 3 years ago I think the most amazing thing about this is actually how smart all the people on this team are. The mathematics, electronics, computers, timing etc. It is easier for me to imagine the blackhole itself than to imagine being half as smart as these scientists. These peolple should be our societies rockstars for what they do. They're awesome!! §paethon §paethon 3 years ago Finally a real image of a black hole. I've waited years and never thought I'd live to see one. 22 Michael Caro Michael Caro 2 years ago Great work going from theory to fact, keep it up!!!!! Winnie Gustafson Winnie Gustafson 3 years ago Well done, great scientists! I’m so amazed and happy for all of humanity. 1 Lillian Nieswender Lillian Nieswender 3 years ago This is truly amazing, it helps to restore some of my faith in humanity. Thank you so much to all the scientists involved. 2 Cassio Alvarenga Cassio Alvarenga 1 year ago Maravilhoso que imagens magnífica parabéns 🙏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🌎😇👽👽 Shaun K Shaun K 3 years ago This is truly amazing. Great job to everyone that made this happen 56 Nuno Hipólito Nuno Hipólito 3 years ago What a great video. Thank you for all your work. 7 Greg Jay Greg Jay 2 years ago Once in the twilight hour a visitor came to my study, a distinguished looking gentleman. He brought me a manuscript dealing with celestial mechanics. After a glance at some of the pages, I had the feeling that this was the work of a mathematical genius. I entered into a conversation with my visitor and mentioned the name of James Clerk Maxwell. My guest asked: ‘Who is he?’ Embarrassed I answered: ‘You know the scientist who gave a theoretical explanation of the experiments of Faraday.’ ‘And who is Faraday?’ inquired the stranger. In growing embarrassment I said: ‘Of course, the man who did pioneer work in electromagnetism.’ ‘And what is electromagnetism? Asked the gentleman. ‘What is your name?’ I inquired. He answered, ‘Isaac Newton.’ This story is told to illustrate what I have said before. Would you listen to anybody discuss the mechanics of the spheres, who does not know the elementary physical forces existing in nature? But this is the position adopted by astronomers who acclaim as infallible a celestial mechanics conceived in the 1660s in which electricity and magnetism play not the slightest role. They would rather tear their eyeballs out than admit the truth but they usually just hide it and remain silent 1 Ricky King Ricky King 3 years ago Thank you EHT for allowing us to see this in our lifetime. Next is the actual photo of an exoplanet, hopefully in this generation also. Kudos 5 Ethitlan Ethitlan 3 years ago To think I was born in the right place in time to see this wonderful discovery. 278 UltravoltK UltravoltK 3 years ago This is surely a very big achievement in science and It will continue to amaze us! It's so scary to see something that exists. :D 3 Trick Carisusa Trick Carisusa 3 years ago I've been waited this for so long te see the true image of a black hole. I hope that all of the scientist around the world will answer the mysteries behind of a black hole. TheDjordjeSS TheDjordjeSS 3 years ago I got to say, as a graphic designer your thumbnail is absolutely awesome. Typography is crazy genius. 5 DJ CALIX DJ CALIX 3 years ago ¡Magnífico! Resty Bal Resty Bal 3 years ago Amazing. From theory to actual images!! Hats off to the intellectual people who actually made this possible. 1 Coco Sloan Coco Sloan 3 years ago Congrats to the scientists! This is a GREAT achievement ! 1 Dr. Love 1987 Dr. Love 1987 2 years ago That is amazing that telescopes can see that far. Pein Pein 3 years ago I love the fact that efforts are being put on discovering mysteries and not on flying cars that can destroy the atmosphere. 5 Christian Fuchs Christian Fuchs 3 years ago Imagine of they could put a radio telescope on the moon, that would kick the resolution up a notch! 9 Danial Ahmed Danial Ahmed 3 years ago First of all, a great discovery & congratulations to everyone who believes in the possibilities of science. Now, having said that, my question would not be why the image appears fuzzy (I know the problem scientifically). But my question is: When a Blackhole is known to gulp any matter in a lightning fast speed & nothing could reflect out of it, why & what stands & shine at the event horizon? Moreover, the jet streams that are thrown out of a black hole, how do they get out of it with such speed & length? 1 Chirag Merchant Chirag Merchant 3 years ago Event Horizon Team u guys literally started a New Era in Astronomy.....Just Tooooooo Much Respect for all those painstaking Nights🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌....Thank you so Much....!! we need more people like u all💓🌌 34 Mike Berry Mike Berry 3 years ago Thanks. Lovely to finally see the heart of our galaxy. Grateful to all who played a part. Rahul Singh Yadav Rahul Singh Yadav 3 years ago The theoretical models are almost close to the actual image, imagine the confidence at which now scientist can actually prove existence of ethereal objects in space. The actual victory is the confidence of knowing that we weren't shooting an arrow in dark, that we were verifying our civilizations logic to be concluded with actual facts. Beautiful moment indeed. Meheruba Hafiza Meheruba Hafiza 3 years ago This video is so good and well explained that I'm in love with it. Thanks for making things so easy to understand ang the narration is so good ❤️❤️❤️. Julio Julio 3 years ago Wow, ver esto te pone los pelos de punta, y de por si que gran logro para el mundo. Mental illboy Mental illboy 3 years ago I'm proud at everyone who worked on this. 2 Luís Assunção Luís Assunção 3 years ago Kudos all those scientists who gave up from their personal life to work on benefit of progress and humanity. 3 Dylan Richards Dylan Richards 3 years ago What a remarkable discovery. This is what can be achieved when humanity works alongside, and not against. I just wish Stephen Hawking was alive to witness this. South Texas Angler South Texas Angler 11 months ago Just imagine the accomplishments humanity could achieve if everyone got along and worked together. The image if this black hole is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s so much more out there that we’ve yet to discover. 1 Phillip Mulligan Phillip Mulligan 3 years ago There will be a few Nobel Prizes handed out to some of these astronomy teams. This is profoundly ground breaking and will no doubt reinforce some theories and laws of physics while putting others to rest. The book of cosmology may end up being rewritten with a few extra chapters in it. Next stop how to formulate and put into practice faster than light travel by taking a dimensional short cut through real space by jumping out of the classic dimensions altogether. Nik Walker Nik Walker 3 years ago (edited) Now imagine what quality you could achieve with manless orbiting observatories at different planets. Because this is where it goes, if you want to break further boundaries. Let see where the marsmission is going first! Grizzly Beer Grizzly Beer 3 years ago goes to show you that combining all of the human race what we could achieve. I hoped to see this happen in my lifetime.... Thank you EHT scientists 1 Gabriel Lopes Gabriel Lopes 3 years ago Such an incredible journey. Science is fundamentally based on a colective dream that we all share but most of the time ignore. These are the moments when it's made clear how hopeful science makes us feel. All this meaning behind a photo. Congratulations to all the team. 3 Cappy Thumper Cappy Thumper 2 years ago (edited) One word = Wow. Well done ~*~. Thank you to all involved. 1 Сергій Мартиненко Сергій Мартиненко 3 years ago Am I the only one who, while excited, was surprised to find out this is the first image of a back hole? I mean, I knew it was hard to observe them, I just didn't realize that nobody ever took a photo of accretion disk before (or a footage of gravitational lensing by something black) Stephen Henderson Stephen Henderson 2 years ago I'm not too educated in much of this field of science- but I have to ask- did I miss something in this? If, as is taught, the earth is a globe- how did they get telescopes in different hemispheres (N/S/E/W) all to focus at the same point in space at the same time? Aqim Julayhi Aqim Julayhi 3 years ago The telescope at 10:25 is like 'Nope you ain't forcing me to work the night shift nope nope nope' Regardless, it's an amazing milestone in human history to see a glimpse of a black hole. Hoping they would do more observations to provide clearer images soon. Christos Lumiere Christos Lumiere 3 years ago Incredible! Thank you everyone who worked on this experiment! Diego Pérez Reyes Diego Pérez Reyes 3 years ago Awesome micro-documental, definitely a groundbreaking discovery 4 Rosendo Diaz Moreno Rosendo Diaz Moreno 2 years ago En este vídeo, se ve la colaboración de científicos de distintos países que colaboran para que ,la investigación científica, de un paso mas profundo, si pudramos aprovechar, esta colaboración internacional. para intentar, que no aumente la población humana, sin tener que recurrir ,al la utilización de pruebas medicas , empersonar mayores , seria también un gran avance Stefan Olejnik Stefan Olejnik 3 years ago for the first time I realy don't understand, how can something like this have dislikes...anyway, I'm so proud of humanity... 5 Chirag Ojha Chirag Ojha 3 years ago (edited) Very nice documentary. Awesome content and narration. dipi dipi 3 years ago 11:46 Actually, M87 had a third major advantage: it is a currently active black hole, i.e. matter falls into it (well, 50 million years ago, and its light is reaching us now). Cheers! 2 PAD PAD 3 years ago These things make me feel so proud of the Human Species. Congratulations to all involved!!! 2 lungotevere lungotevere 1 year ago (edited) Fascinating!!! Thank you for posting this riveting account! As a non-scientist, this makes me want to watch the movie 'Interstellar'' again. :-) Mark Lynch Mark Lynch 1 year ago I really wish that professor Hawking had been able to see this incredible achievement. 1 Doug R. Doug R. 3 years ago Scientific teams show the power of cooperation & collaboration!! 6 Matt Nipperess Matt Nipperess 3 years ago What a leap! Congratulations all and thank you! 1 Abhinav Sharma Abhinav Sharma 3 years ago Kudos to everyone working on this project! You are not separate from the universe, but a part of the universe consciously analyzing and exploring itself. One day you will reach a full understanding of it. Marinaldo Leite Marinaldo Leite 3 years ago A luz que há no denominado "buraco negro", antes de adentrar nele, era visivelmente luz, porém, ao ser feita parte daquela composição escura, trevosa, daquele negrume, a luz que se foi mesclada àquela composição de trevas, tornou-se trevas. O que alguns demoraram tanto para saber, e gastaram tanto recurso, ainda que seja válido, para quem acredita em Cristo e nas Suas palavras, podem saber lendo e ouvindo as Escrituras. Mateus 6: 23. Se, porém, os teus olhos forem maus, o teu corpo será tenebroso. Se, portanto a luz que em ti há são trevas, quão grandes serão tais trevas! Com o que você acha que Cristo estava comparando, quando disse: se a luz que em ti há são trevas? O que é a luz que há no "buraco negro"? Não são trevas? Ou você acha que ele, Cristo Jesus, não conheceria o universo que foi feito por Deus através dele? E havia trevas sobre a face do abismo. Arrependei-vos e convertei-vos, pois é chegado o Reino dos Céus. Chriswhitt 66 Chriswhitt 66 2 years ago What a great video. It's awe inspiring. Xiphosura Xiphosura 3 years ago I'm glad to see Space Engine footage used in something this serious, it really is an amazing program, perfect for such an amazing event :D 1 kristian so kristian so 3 years ago such a tremendous achievement for the scientific community! thank you! 5 Dinis Criptowl 🦉 Dinis Criptowl 🦉 3 years ago Thank you for this great presentation. Watching the image of this black hole feels like the discovery of the Americas. The XXI century will be the most exciting time of human history. New Kuroko New Kuroko 3 years ago Gracias Javier por compartir este video! ♥ NextLevel BJJ NextLevel BJJ 3 years ago Does this mean, theoretically: We can build a telescope Larger than the earth if we put more telescopes on our moon (or even other planets) and do this same telescope interconnected perimeter. Is this possible? Basically taking this process one step further 1 Appa Talks Appa Talks 3 years ago Great Documentary, put together very nicely!

Bravo! 7 Ron Michael Gazmin Ron Michael Gazmin 3 years ago This the time when you feel you want to be a physicist but feel contended just hearing on their research. Kudos 刘雁鹏 刘雁鹏 2 years ago Even thouhg i can't feel how a big breakout it is , I am surprised and it's so beautiful. Thank you all for human-beings Stan Cox Stan Cox 3 years ago Does anyone have a link to a video about how this image was captured that is not dumbed -down and over produced? 1 destiny ovbiebo destiny ovbiebo 3 years ago I love science and admire scientists! Gaurav Cheema Gaurav Cheema 3 years ago Holy fuck 4:29 an entire planet acting as a telescope! That is straight out of sci-fi. So lucky to be living among pioneers. This is like exploring the wild west of science. 1 Phenochs Mundala Phenochs Mundala 3 years ago Sarcastically speaking, I just Love how in this biography, they casually speak about being held at gunpoint towards a resolution process......not over drugs, but over a bunch of telescopes! All non-challant and what not!!? 36 Aaron Lowe Aaron Lowe 3 years ago This result is a little bit unexpected for me because it almost seems like we're looking top down (on the angle of rotation) yet light is bunched up on one side and dimmed on the other. In the models I've seen this bunching effect covers the black hole slightly as material orbits between the object and the observer, but we're not seeing this in this photo (or maybe we are and it's not as obvious). And if we were looking top down then we'd expect to see the same luminosity at all points around the orbit (assuming no bright objects were in that area, like stars). So, I'd like to see this photo with the angle of the galactic plane superimposed to be able to make more sense of what is happening. Disclaimer: I'm not a scientist. Just an average Joe with average understanding of this subject, so if you do know something I don't, don't expect me to know it :o) 2 dj Curiosity dj Curiosity 3 years ago Incredibly amazing! Sergio Del Rio Sergio Del Rio 3 years ago muy buen video, y muy buen documental voluntarily_double_pounding voluntarily_double_pounding 3 years ago Oh, how I wish we can take a closer look like we did with the pluto, imagine the beauty! But I'm not complaining though. The math, theories, and model matched the real thing, and that's super amazing enough. 2 Nordine Aouidad Nordine Aouidad 3 years ago Okay, so this image means that the events of this black hole took place a long time ago, since light takes so much time to reach us, which means that; this particular massive black hole may have already eaten a huge portion of this galaxy!? lol just saying, it's a great discovery. 1 MindSight MindSight 3 years ago Truly remarkable. A tribute to the human race. 3 Fensen Fensen 3 years ago (edited) What a time to be alive.. 1 sabre0461 sabre0461 3 years ago See? The only way all of those telescopes can see an image at the same time is if the world is flat! Just kidding, congrats to all the scientists and engineers who made this happen. Can't wait to what's next. 1 gi neve gi neve 3 years ago An absolutely brilliant achievment pity society cannot be as effective solving the problems here on earth.

I can not believe it - but think it's great! 1 dskhann dskhann 3 years ago "I did my PhD in black holes." How did you get the information back out once you were finished? 33 Barry Walls Barry Walls 1 year ago Class! Astronomy is so exciting right now 1 Daniel G. Benes Science Shows Daniel G. Benes Science Shows 3 years ago This was a fantastic production! Thank you from all of us here at www.scienceshows.tech 1 D Singh D Singh 3 years ago Where time ceases and space being stretched beyond imagination; it becomes spaceless. Black hole is a beyond time, space and matter realm/phenomenon. In Gurbani we read this word Akaal-purkh (timeless being) quite often which is written 400 years ago. Isn't it amazing, the ultimate destiny of any (or all) matter ends up in this timeless being called singularity/Blackhole. Imgination of any information that cross this pavement is unimaginable now and for all times. The infinity inside and infinity outside are clear indications that almost everything is hidden from us. We would know as little as nothing but still this journey is as exciting as the theosophical side of knowledge 2 Res Res 3 years ago So happy, I was born in this generation because of this discovery :) Daniel Santiago Daniel Santiago 3 years ago Amazing, wonderful, beautiful thing. I'm crying. Congratulation to all people who worked very hard for this proyect. The best of humanity. 1 innertubez innertubez 3 years ago "There is plenty of scope for things to go wrong, and one after another, they did. Equipment failures - OK power failures - Yup not enough hard drives to store data - It happens ... some of the scientists were even held at gunpoint during the observations." - WHAT 8 Feli Feli 3 years ago So seeing how the sheer amount of telescopes contributed to this I wonder how scalable that is Sanchez King Sanchez King 3 years ago This is pretty much the greatest milestone in science since humanity established actual use of nuclear power 4 Kellie Nicole Brooks Schettino Kellie Nicole Brooks Schettino 3 years ago Well done nice collaboration,I need to rent the enterprise,got to get some where in a hurry,just kidding Nice work,nice to see there is still some people some where that can find a way to work together,and make the otherwise impossible a reality,nice,or as u modrern folk say sweet...really still incredible how small it make u feel don't it,when u see all that space thanks Econ Caleb Econ Caleb 3 years ago This video makes me feel all tingly, absolutely amazing :) Thank you for this incrediblel video 2 Charles Laine Charles Laine 3 years ago What a fantastic discovery.
