"Confirming Einstein: New Observations Validate General Relativity with Black Hole Snapshot"

TL;DR Summary
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration has released new images of the black hole M87*, confirming Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. The images show a dark shadow at the center of a bright golden ring, with the brightness peak of the ring shifting by about 30 degrees compared to the first shot. This confirms that the laws of physics are the same throughout the universe. The black hole's ring size remains mostly fixed, while the accretion disk surrounding it is constantly changing. The new image was captured using data up until April 2018, and the inclusion of additional telescopes has improved the array for future observations.
