Today brings us a beautiful new image of M87 by a team led by Lia Medeiros (@astronolia) along with BH PIRE members at Georgia Tech (@Feryal_Ozel and @DimitriosPSALT1) and NOIRLab (@TodLauer). “Fuzzy donut” no more thanks to their new ML technique, named PRIMO.
Now that the wait is over, join Friday's webinar for more scientific details on our exciting new black hole results.
