This is the first picture of a black hole,
at the center of the galaxy M87, obtained using the Earth-sized,
virtual, Event Horizon Telescope.
A black hole is a dense compact object,
whose gravitational pull is so strong, that within a certain distance of it,
nothing can escape, not even light. Black holes are thought to result,
from the collapse of very massive stars, at the end of their evolution.
The crushing weight of constituent matter, falling in from all sides,
compresses the dying star to a point of zero volume and infinite density,
called the singularity.
