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.

○有史以来第一张黑洞的图像令人吃惊

阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦在1916年“广义相对论”中首次提出黑洞的存在。然而，到目前為止，天体物理学家们一直依靠间接证据来证明他们的存在。这种情况随着2019年4月10日M87星系中心一个黑洞的首次直接视觉证据的发布而发生了变化，这个黑洞距离地球5500万光年。
