TL;DR

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has released the sharpest image of the M87 black hole yet, using an additional telescope and independent data from 2018. The new image displays the chaotic nature of the black hole's accretion disk and confirms the accuracy of the image technique. The image also shows the Doppler/Einstein effects, with the brightest spot shifting to the right between the capture of two images. Scientists plan to continue advancing the science with new observations set for the first half of 2024, aiming to capture multiple images to create the first "video" of a black hole.
