![]() ![]() While they’re too faint to be seen directly, closer-by galaxies and clusters sometimes magnify their light, allowing us to learn about the ancestors of the Milky Way and other modern galaxies.ĭiscovering Distant Radio Galaxies via Gravitational Lensing Using gravitational lensing to search for the earliest galaxies in the universe. This image of the black hole at the center of the nearby galaxy M87 reveals how gravitation affects the matter in orbit and the light that material emits, providing a novel test of general relativity in a regime where gravity is very strong.ĬfA Plays Central Role In Capturing Landmark Black Hole Image Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian astrophysicists research the predictions of general relativity in many ways:Ĭapturing the first image of a supermassive black hole using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). ![]()
