The team used advanced three-dimensional computer simulations to reproduce the motion of matter and magnetic field. And the simulations created a synthetic image of a glowing plasma in the accretion disk and as the image is sharper, they will eventually answer the question of how black hole images differ across various theories. So the Event Horizon Telescope's biggest contribution to this research is allowing scientists to turn black holes into testable objects. And it's expected that relativity will continue to prove itself, as I said earlier, as it has over and over again. Findings so far are consistent with Einstein's, such as M87. M87 is a black hole in the meteor object 87, that is a galaxy 55 million light years away from us. So that's a black hole in the center of this galaxy. The same as the Milky Way has a massive black hole in the center of our galaxy, which is a Sagittarius A.
