Eli5: why are images of black holes so blurry and not better quality?
In: 0
They’re not in visible light. They’re radio waves.
They’re also images taken over a long period of time. We’re not talking minutes or hours here, we’re talking months. This means that the matter around the black holes is moving and it moves quite far during that time. This means that even if you could get a good resolution the images would still be blurred due to that.
