With the help of eight observatories around the world, whose radio telescopes are synchronized by ultra-precise atomic clocks, earthlings for the first time saw an image of the most mysterious space object: a black hole.

Scientists did not doubt its existence, but they saw it for the first time.

A dark circle with an orange halo was named after the Powehi, which means "decorated dark source of endless creation" in Hawaiian.
