First image of a black hole gets a makeover with AI

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:17 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The first image of a black hole captured four years ago revealed a fuzzy, fiery doughnut-shaped object. Now, researchers have used artificial intelligence to give that cosmic beauty shot a touch-up.The updated picture, published Thursday in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, keeps the original shape, but with a skinnier ring and a sharper resolution.The image released in 2019 gave a peek at the enormous black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy, 53 million light-years from Earth. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles. It was made using data gathered by a network of radio telescopes around the world, showing swirling light and gas. But even with many telescopes working together, gaps remained in the data. In the latest study, scientists relied on the same data and used machine learning to fill in the missing pieces. The resulting picture looks similar to the original, but with a thinner “doughnut” and a darker center, researchers said. “For me, it feels like we’re reall...

(CNN) — Cazadores de meteoritos, prepárense para adentrarse en el bosque.Un museo de Maine ofrece US$ 25.000 por los restos de una roca espacial que surcó el cielo la semana pasada antes de aterrizar cerca de la frontera entre Estados Unidos y Canadá.La bola de fuego, visible a plena luz del día y que provocó un estampido sónico, fue detectada por radar, lo que permitió al Laboratorio de Investigación de Astromateriales y Ciencia de la Exploración (ARES, por sus siglas en inglés) de la NASA calcular el “campo esparcido” -donde podrían encontrarse fragmentos del meteoro- cerca de Calais, Maine.Darryl Pitt, jefe de la división de meteoritos del Museo de Minerales y Gemas de Maine, dijo que estaba deseoso de estudiar cualquier fragmento del meteorito, que podría contener información valiosa sobre el sistema solar. La recompensa de US$ 25.000 es para la primera pieza de meteorito encontrada que pese 2,2 libras (1 kilogramo) o más. Sin embargo, dijo que el museo estaría...
