Simulated Image of a Black Hole

As you are aware from the media that many people around the world are waiting tonight with a hope to see the picture of a Black Hole tomorrow (April 10, 2019).
About 200 scientists from around the world have done extra-ordinary level of sophisticated research for over several years on this Global project to study Black Hole and to actually take a picture of the Black Hole. There will be six simultaneous press conferences tomorrow (April 10, 2019) in USA, Brussels, Santiago, Shanghai, Tokyo and Tapei to unveil the "groundbreaking result" of a years-long effort to capture images of the black holes at the centers of our Milky Way galaxy and a neighboring galaxy.
The U.S. press briefing will be held at 9 a.m. Eastern at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. It will be hosted by the National Science Foundation and the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), an international collaboration that's been working to photograph a black hole using eight linked radio observatories around the world to form a single Earth-size telescope. Please plan to watch it if you can.
Black Hole has been one of the most fascinating objects of modern sciences. Black Holes are created by a process that starts with the death of big stars through the Supernova explosion when it reaches the nuclear fusion limit at the level of Iron (Fe) in its core. That becomes the limit of the nuclear fusion process because Iron has the highest binding energy per nucleon and so, the star can no longer get advantage of the E = mc2 process to save itself from the attack by the gravitation. So, at that point the gravitational collapse becomes so intense that the atomic electrons and protons merge to become neutrons and the entire star becomes a neutron star. At that stage, if the neutron star is massive enough then it will go through further gravitational collapse to transform into a Black Hole. Black Holes can combine to make more massive Black Holes. There are billions of galaxies in the universe and each of the galaxies are assumed to have a Black Hole at its center.
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), is an international collaboration.. They have used their name with Event Horizon which has a special meaning related to Black Hole. Just as we cannot see the objects that sink below our horizon, so anything inside the event horizon of a Black Hole can no longer interact with the rest of the universe. Event Horizon is also called the Schwarzschild Radius. Any object including the light inside the Event Horizon or the Schwarzschild Radius can not escape the Black Hole because the escape volocity exceeds the speed of light.
You can see some further details of this EHT project status at the following link, where 4 scientists have also given a video presentation about this EHT project:
If you want to understand the Black Hole and some other Big Bang Sciences that are presented in a very easy way then you can watch my video presentation here at the following link:
