The black hole has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the sun.
Scientists on Wednesday unveiled the first-ever image of a black hole and its shadow located in a galaxy far, far away.
The black hole was photographed by a network of eight telescopes across the the world known as The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. "We’ve exposed a part of our universe we’ve never seen before, We have seen and taken a picture of a black hole," Shep Doeleman, an astronomer at Harvard University who led the effort to capture the image, said at a press conference Wednesday.
