![]() Likewise, scenes where Hawking questions his collaborators as they explain chalkboards full of equations prove mesmerizing. And we triumph as the team unveils the result in 2019, a now-familiar orange, ring-shaped image depicting the supermassive black hole in the center of galaxy M87 ( SN: 4/10/19). ![]() When big discoveries happen, the camera is right there - allowing us to thrill in the moment when Event Horizon Telescope scientists first lay eyes on a black hole’s visage. Meanwhile, a small group of theoretical physicists, anchored by Stephen Hawking - who was still alive when filming began - aim to solve a theoretical quandary called the black hole information paradox ( SN: 5/16/14). Scientists with the Event Horizon Telescope attempt to make the first image of a black hole’s shadow using a global network of telescopes. ![]() The film follows two teams working over the last several years to unveil the mystery-shrouded monstrosities. That enigmatic quality makes the behemoths an enticing subject, scientists explain in the new documentary Black Holes: The Edge of All We Know. Anything that crosses a black hole’s threshold is lost forever, trapped by an extreme gravitational pull. ![]() Black holes sit on the cusp of the unknowable.
