Scientists use dual-frequency images to explore black hole plasma physics

AI Summary

Researchers have advanced black hole study by using dual-frequency imaging to explore the plasma physics of the black hole in galaxy M87. This follows the historic 2019 first-ever image of a black hole.

The first-ever image of a black hole—a glowing, ring-like structure at the heart of galaxy M87—was unveiled to the world in a landmark moment in 2019. Now, researchers have taken the next big step—moving beyond capturing a picture of the black hole to understanding its physics through dual-frequency images.
