The First-Ever Image of a Black Hole Is Stunning

The existence of black holes was first proposed by Albert Einstein in his 1916 general theory of relativity. However， astrophysicists have thus far relied on indirect evidence. That changed on April 10， 2019， with the release of the first-ever direct visual evidence of a black hole in the center of the galaxy M87， located 55 million light-years from Earth.

○有史以來第一張黑洞的圖像令人吃驚

阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦在1916年“廣義相對(duì)論”中首次提出黑洞的存在。然而，到目前為止，天體物理學(xué)家們一直依靠間接證據(jù)來證明他們的存在。這種情況隨著2019年4月10日M87星系中心一個(gè)黑洞的首次直接視覺證據(jù)的發(fā)布而發(fā)生了變化，這個(gè)黑洞距離地球5500萬光年。
