Scientists have spent decades studying them, but Wednesday provides our first-ever image of a black hole.
The National Science Foundation hosted a morning press conference featuring scientists from around the world to release the picture, albeit fuzzy, of a black hole.
The image was captured using the Event Horizon Telescope, an international collaboration created to show a black hole.
