of a black hole has swiftly made its way around the internet.
Bouman, a postdoctoral researcher at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, started working on the algorithm as a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she studied electrical engineering and computer science.
"It's kind of the beginning into having another window into what black holes can tell us about our love, and physics," Ms Bouman told the scientific journal"Already we've learned so much. Even though we had predicted that if you had a black hole you'd get this ring of light, we didn't know we were going to get that ring of light - and that's what we were kind of testing.
