Independent technique validates landmark M87* image

The 2019 Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) image was the work of hundreds of scientists and captured the first direct view of a black hole's shadow—becoming one of the most recognized scientific images of the modern era. A team of four from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, has developed a powerful new imaging technique that validated the landmark 2019 image of the black hole at the center of galaxy M87.
