Scientists on Wednesday revealed the first image ever made of a black hole.

科学家周三透露了第一张黑洞造像。

Assembling data gathered by eight radio telescopes around the world, astronomers created the picture showing the violent neighborhood around a super massive black hole, the light-sucking monsters of the universe theorized by Einstein more than a century ago and confirmed by observations for decades.

世界各地八个射电望远镜收集的数据汇集在一起​​，天文学家创造的图片展示了一个超大质量黑洞周围的暴力邻域，一个多世纪以前由爱因斯坦理论化的宇宙中的吸光怪物，经过几十年的观测证实。

It looked like a flaming orange, yellow and black ring.

它看起来像一个火红的橙色，黄色和黑色的戒指。

"We have seen what we thought was unseeable. We have seen and taken a picture of a black hole. Here it is," said Sheperd Doeleman of Harvard.

“我们已经看到了我们认为不可见的东西。我们已经看到并拍摄了一张黑洞照片。就在这里，”哈佛大学的Sheperd Doeleman说道。

Jessica Dempsey, a co-discoverer and deputy director of the East Asian Observatory in Hawaii, said it reminded her of the powerful flaming Eye of Sauron from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

夏威夷东亚天文台的共同发现者和副主任杰西卡·登普西说，这让她想起了“指环王”三部曲中强大的燃烧之眼索伦。

Unlike smaller black holes that come from collapsed stars, super massive black holes are mysterious in origin. Situated at the center of most galaxies, including ours, they are so dense that nothing, not even light, can escape their gravitational pull. This one's "event horizon" - the point of no return around it, where light and matter begin to fall inexorably into the abyss - is as big as our entire solar system.

不像来自坍缩恒星的小黑洞，超大质量黑洞的起源是神秘的。它们位于包括我们在内的大多数星系的中心，它们非常密集，没有任何东西，甚至光线都不能逃脱它们的引力。这个人的“事件视界” - 周围没有回归的地方，光和物质开始无情地落入深渊 - 与我们整个太阳系一样大。
