How do you take a picture of a black hole and what can we learn from it? Our first ever actual bona fide photo of a black hole, made by the Event Horizon Telescope and revealed to the world in a press conference on April 10th. Since then it\u2019s got plenty of coverage, because \u2026 I mean look at it. It\u2019s a freaking black hole. It\u2019s black, it\u2019s holey, it\u2019s everything we hoped it would be. Now that the giddiness has subsided and I personally have stopped spending hours on end staring at a black spot, we can take a breath and actually look at the real science here and discuss exactly how a picture like this could be taken and what we can learn from it.<\/p>\n
