On September 6th, a group of scientists working on the Event Horizon Telescope project received the Breakthrough Award in Physics, considered a "Scientific Oscar" for its first "shadow" image of the M87 black hole – a dark area on the background of the radiation corresponding to a horizon. Event. It's in the galaxy 53 million light-years from Earth.

The Event Horizon Telescope project includes eight observatories located in Antarctica, Chile, Mexico, the United States and Spain.
