This is the very first photo by direct visual reference of a black hole, released on April 10, 2019. It is in the center of galaxy Messier 87, taken by the Event Horizon Telescope. It was captured by eight Earth based radio telescopes over ten days in April 2017. The telescopes captured a massive 5 Petabytes of data (500 kilograms of modern hard drives) as they captured observations throughout the Earth's rotation. Combining the data from all observations with an algorithm, the photo was effectively made by creating a telescope the size of the Earth, capable of seeing the equivalent of an orange on the surface of the moon from Earth. What is visible in the image are the red or orange gasses at the edge of the black hole, known as the event horizon. That glow defines the black hole in the center, by the inability for light to escape the black hole itself.
This is intended to be the highest quality, most accurate print of this historic first black hole image. We have made the intricate and subtle adjustments to color gamut and brightness to maximize the visual qualities of this image for print, while keeping true to the original RGB transmissive light image. Computers alone still can't do this accurately with the bright yellows and reds like this on the black of space. What you will receive is a fine art quality print with the smooth gradations shown in our online image, printed as a true Silver Halide light exposed, chemically processed glossy photograph. For wall display, we highly recommend dedicated halogen or high CRI LED lighting to really make the image "pop."

If you're looking for the highest quality photo available of this image, then I'm confident that you've found it. We actually do things different here, mixing the best of today's print and restoration technologies with old fashioned hard work and artistry. People still make the artistic decisions, not computers. And we print real light exposed and chemical processed prints using Kodak Professional Endura archival photo paper, not just ink jet prints, mass produced posters or the pitiful photocopies that are sold by hundreds of online sellers. Since our start online in 2001, we've served more than 50,000 customers, and every one of them started by contemplating whether we were offering something special, something worthy of their hard earned dollars. We know that terms like "fine art," "archival," and "best" are thrown around very loosely in this business, with most of those prints being mass produced lower resolution poster prints, at best. Posters can be great, and we sell some elsewhere on this site, but what you are buying here is a REAL PHOTOGRAPH!
We expertly retouch and restore old historic images to be as good or better looking than the originals. We start by finding the highest quality negative, print or digital file that is known to exist. Each photograph then gets individual attention from one of our print masters and is meticulously restored with special attention to color reproduction, contrast, exposure and dust and scratch removal. Each photograph is then printed on REAL chemically processed archival photo paper. The combination of expert artistry, today's professional lab print technology and only archival print materials, results in a museum quality fine art print that rivals, or in most cases exceeds, the beauty and quality of the original. At The McMahan Photo Archive, you are always buying the best!
Each print is given a final inspection before leaving the studio. 11x14 and smaller prints are always shipped flat, sealed in archival plastic with a backing board to protect them till you are ready to display them. Every shipment is fully insured, so you will always get a pristine print. Most importantly, every order is backed by our 30 Day 100% GUARANTEE! In the unlikely event that your print is damaged in shipment, or if you don't like it for any reason, you are entitled to your choice of having us correct the problem, exchanging it, or returning it for a refund. Isn't that the way it should be? We really want to make you into one of our raving fans!
