Highest-resolution black hole images ever taken usher in a new era
The Event Horizon Telescope team achieves unprecedented resolution and opens new windows to supermassive black hole studies.
Anyone have a link to the full resolution image?
Not how it works. They are not taking pictures with cameras. Resolution has more meaning then pixels.
What I mean is a higher resolution than the linked site provides. NASA has an “original” image of the last time they made an image like this but I haven’t found one for this new image yet. That original is 4000x2330 but the one linked in the OP site is only 1200x729.
Hehe title says highest resolution and thumbnail's a blurry mess.
Edit: wait the whole thing is blurry. Which means... we didn't even have this before?
What stopped us? Distance in space or that light simply escaped and we couldn't zoom in on finer increments?
Article says that it's basically the equivalent of getting an image of a bottle cap on the surface of the moon from earth. At that kind of resolution the wavelength of light actually becomes a limiting factor. They're using shorter wavelengths to get higher resolution.
That stuff inbetween.
