Black hole image: more Jewish brilliance? 5 Years ago  
Following the recent coverage of the first ever image of a black hole, I was wondering if a couple of the key people involved were Jewish. Like Einstein, whose theory of relativity this achievement apparently confirms.

This is the first photo of a black hole

"We have seen what we thought was unseeable," said Sheperd Doeleman, director of the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. "We have seen and taken a picture of a black hole."

The visual confirmation of black holes acts as confirmation of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Katie Bouman: The woman behind the first black hole image

"A 29-year-old computer scientist has earned plaudits worldwide for helping develop the algorithm that created the first-ever image of a black hole.

Katie Bouman led development of a computer programme that made the breakthrough image possible.

The remarkable photo, showing a halo of dust and gas 500 million trillion km from Earth, was released on Wednesday.

For Dr Bouman, its creation was the realisation of an endeavour previously thought impossible.
