The bottom line shows those simulations processed as if they were EHT observations.). Numerical modeling of Kerr black holes produces model imaging consistent with the observed data, including this central "shadow" (The figure shows three different numerical models on the top line. The main result is that the 1.3mm wavelength images (from "Paper 1") of M87 show an asymmetric ring and a central region that is fainter than the ring by a factor of about 10. The released data and papers were of the massive black hole in the relatively nearby galaxy M87. Cordova, EHT Director Sheperd Doeleman (Center for Astrophyiscs | Harvard & Smithsonian), Associate Professor Dan Marrone (The University of Arizona), Associate Professor Avery Broderick (University of Waterloo), and Professor Sera Markoff (University of Amsterdam). Speakers at the press conference were NSF Director France A. They announced the first results of the supermassive black hole imaging done by using radio telescopes joined as an almost-Earth-sized telescope. At 9am EDT on April 10, 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) team and the National Science Foundation held a press conference.
