A team of 200 pioneering scientists from across the globe is preparing to push the limits of scientific achievement and attempt to answer two key questions: is it possible to photograph a black hole and, if so, was Einstein right?
來自世界各地的200名先驅科學家組成的團隊正准備突破科學成就的極限，並試圖回答兩個關鍵問題：是否有可能拍攝到黑洞，如果有可能，愛因斯坦是否是對的？
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is comprised of dozens of observatories that scan the area around the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, named Sagittarius A*, to piece together a silhouette of the black behemoth and provide humanity with its first-ever glimpse of a real black hole (as opposed to an artist’s rendering).
事件地平線望遠鏡（EHT）由數十個天文台組成，它們掃描了銀河系中心的被稱爲人馬座A*逮到超大質量黑洞周圍的區域來拼湊出一個黑色龐然大物的輪廓，並能讓人類首次看到一個真正的黑洞（而不是通過藝術家的渲染）。
The “groundbreaking result from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project,” will be delivered in an announcement by the US National Science Foundation on Wednesday, April 10, at 9am EDT (13:00 GMT). Concurrent announcements will be made in Tokyo, Brussels, Taipei, Santiago, and Shanghai.
“事件視界望遠鏡（EHT）項目”的開創性成果將在美國國家科學基金會星期三（4月10日）上午9點（格林威治時間13:00）發布。同時將在東京、布魯塞爾、台北、聖地亞哥和上海發布公告。
The astronomers are attempting to capture the silhouette of the black hole against this bright background provided by the swirl of gas, plasma, and other materials are that are falling inexorably into the abyss. The coordinated observations were also made in X- and Gamma-rays.
天文學家們正試圖捕捉黑洞的輪廓，並在X射線和伽馬射線中也進行了協調觀測。在這個由氣體、等離子體和其他物質的漩渦所提供的明亮的背景下，這些物質正無情地掉入深淵。

Amazing! Imagine if the world governments worked together and invested in further studies such as this instead of starving its people and wasting their tax dollars on unnecessary wars for oil.
太棒了！想象一下，如果世界各國政府共同努力，投入到進一步的研究中去，而不是讓本國人民挨餓，把稅收浪費在不必要的石油戰爭上。

If the black hole has the shape of an apple, I’m gonna be quite disappointed..
如果黑洞的形狀像蘋果，我會非常失望的。
