![]() ![]() ![]() And if we have a smaller amount of matter falling in, it should create a thinner ring, right?" she says. "If we have more matter falling into the black hole, it'll create a thicker ring. It's a revelation that will help them understand what is happening as matter swirls around the black hole and falls in. "The fact that the ring width is smaller by about a factor of two is incredibly exciting," says Medeiros. And the resulting new image is consistent with the old one, but the ring of hot gasses swirling around the black hole is significantly thinner. Learning the correlations between the bits of the images helped them better fill in the gaps created by missing data, she says. It's not that each pixel is doing completely independent things." I am a Deep learning engineer who mainly works with convolution neural network and I wanted to see what AI algorithms think about the black hole picture and. "If you have an image, the pixels close to any given pixel are not completely uncorrelated. And so we do this by analyzing tens of thousands of high-resolution images that are created from simulations," says Medeiros. "What we really do is we learn the correlations between different parts of the image. The researchers used tens of thousands of images generated by black hole simulations to train their machine learning program. I was really involved in making that image," says astrophysicist Lia Medeiros of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N. A black hole has a gravitational pull that is so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape it once inside a certain region, called the event horizon. "We're very, very proud and we're really excited about that image. Two years later, with much fanfare, the international EHT team announced they'd produced the first image of M87. This is the black hole that was observed in 2017 by a network of telescopes around the world known as the Event Horizon Telescope, which together acted as a giant radio telescope the size of the Earth. The picture shows the M87 black hole, a large one about 55 million light years away that's thought to be 6.5 billion times more massive than the sun. Scientific evidence shows that in the middle of the Milky Way is a supermassive black hole. Credits: NASA/CXC/M.Weiss An artists drawing shows the current view of the Milky Way galaxy. This black hole pulls matter from blue star beside it. It looks much larger and darker in the upgraded image, according to a new report in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. An artists drawing a black hole named Cygnus X-1. The black interior of this ring of hot gasses is an area of cosmic weirdness and such strong gravity that nothing, not even light, can escape. The first iconic image of a black hole looked like a fuzzy, orange donut, but now that picture has been sharpened up to a fiery ring, thanks to computer simulations and machine learning. Researchers used computer simulations of black holes and machine learning to generate a revised version (right) of the famous first image of a black hole that was released back in 2019 (left). ![]()
