Black Hole Chasers

Black Hole Chasers recounts how an international group of scientists, physicists, and mathematicians produced an image of something previously unseen: a black hole. Their task seemed to demand an Earth-sized telescope, even though the required technology was unavailable. Drawing on research and interviews, the book emphasizes the team’s collaboration, individual personalities, technological innovation, and scientific breakthroughs behind this achievement. It asks how such an image could be made.
