Black Hole Chasers: The Amazing True Story of an Astronomical Breakthrough

This nonfiction account follows a multinational team of scientists, physicists, and mathematicians working to produce an image of something previously unseen. Their effort required technology equivalent to a telescope as large as Earth, even though that technology did not yet exist in a single instrument. Based on research and interviews with members of the team, the book explores scientific curiosity, technological innovation, and the challenge of photographing a black hole. Diagrams, archival photographs, source notes, and a bibliography are included.
