#Repost @nasachandraxray ・・・ #News: The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has captured the first image ever of an event horizon, the boundary between what can and cannot escape a black hole. Famed black hole hunter, @NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, also observed the black hole during #EHT's observations. Chandra's field of view is much larger than the EHT's, making for an exciting opportunity to gather even more information about the #BlackHole in the center of galaxy M87, including what was happening farther away from the event horizon during #EHT's observations. Chandra observed a jet of high-energy particles launched by the intense gravitational & magnetic fields around the black hole, extending more than 1,000 light years from the center of the galaxy!
