In a historic feat by the Event Horizon Telescope and National Science Foundation (NSFgov), an image of a black hole and its shadow has been captured for the first time. Several of our missions were part of a large effort to observe the same black hole using different wavelengths of light and collect data to understand the black hole's environment. Here's a look at NASAChandraXRay Observatory's close-up of the core of the M87 galaxy and the black hole at the center of it.
