It worked! They got it!

Finally, a black hole has been photographed:

I guess the website removed the post you referenced so the link failed. I did see the picture Thursday morning and it is remarkable they got it and from such a huge distance away.

That's actually a very good question, TB.

According to what I found (seemingly had to use the horrible Wikipedia), the project first goes back to 1993, when Heino Falcke started investigating the possibilities of linking world-wide radiotelecopes, and had its first data capture in 2006.

It would have to tie in with current cameras ability to capture it. Which I think would be before 1993.

My first camera was a Brownie. The pictures were grainy and blurry but I thought they were great. When you think of the pictures they take now, of the moon, of a bumble bee in flight, inside a womb to check on babies welfare, of a whale deep in the ocean.... its amazing.

If you go to YouTube and search for Carl Sagan - Blue Dot, you can view a video made 10-years ago showing Voyager 1 leaving the solar system turning it's camera back to view the earth fading away as it travels away from our home planet.
