There may not yet be telescopes capable of unlocking all the secrets of supermassive black holes, but AI is now on the case. Of the various methods for investigating a black hole, the Event Horizon Telescope is the most famous. Thanks to the EHT, it’s been possible to obtain images of the supermassive black holes M87 and Sagittarius A*. These are not images in the traditional sense but instead are visualizations of radio waves coming from the black holes. An alternative image of the black hole’s structure was generated, with this revealing some new characteristics of the black hole.
