First-ever black hole image 'sharpened' using machine learning

The historic first image of the Messier 87 (M87) supermassive black hole, captured using the Event Horizon Telescope, has been sharped using a machine learning technique called PRIMO. PRIMO is short for principal-component interferometric modeling. Credit: Space.com | footage courtesy: L. Medeiros (Institute for Advanced Study), D. Psaltis (Georgia Tech), T.
