"New Image Confirms Einstein's General Relativity in M87 Black Hole"

TL;DR Summary
The second image of the first black hole ever pictured by humanity, M87*, confirms Einstein's general relativity theory, showing a persistent shadow and a glowing golden ring representing matter swirling around the black hole. The image also confirms that the black hole's mass is connected to its radius, and some changes in the brightness of the disk have occurred due to turbulence in the matter around the black hole. The Event Horizon Telescope's repeated observations of M87* have provided new insights and will continue to push the frontiers of black hole astrophysics.
