There was a lot of excitement for this morning’s #EHTBlackHole announcement in Perimeter’s fittingly named Black Hole Bistro! Watch our live webcast at 11 am ET as experts discuss its implications: https://t.co/GlMkGPqNRI
Scientists have obtained the first image of a black hole, using Event Horizon Telescope observations of the center of the galaxy M87. The image shows a bright ring formed as light bends in the intense gravity around a black hole that is 6.5 billion times more massive than the Sun

I'm some ways the pinacle of the Apollo series. The first time humans left Earth's gravity to orbit another world. Perhaps one day soon we will return for a more permanent stay.
