It's a little shaky but if you average out the oscillations I think the result is clear. Again, huge thank you's to A/Prof Emeritus Rod Cross, Helen Georgiou, Alex Yeung, and Chris Stewart, Tom Gordon, the University of Sydney Mechanical Engineering shop, Duncan and co. Ralph and the School of Physics.

We have just seen the first image of a black hole, the supermassive black hole in the galaxy M87 with a mass 6.5 billion times that of our sun. But what is that image really showing us?

This is an awesome paper on the topic by J.P. Luminet:
Image of a spherical black hole with thin accretion disk
Astronomy and Astrophysics, vol. 75, no. 1-2, May 1979, p. 228-235
https://ve42.co/luminet

Using my every day intuition I wondered: will we see the "shadow" of the black hole even if we're looking edge on at the accretion disk? The answer is yes because the black hole warps space-time, so even if we wouldn't normally be able to see the back of the accretion disk, we can in this case because its light is bent up and over the black hole. Similarly we can see light from the bottom of the back of the accretion disk because it's bent under the bottom of the black hole. Plus there are additional images from light that does a half turn around the black hole leading to the inner rings.

What about the black hole "shadow" itself? Well initially I thought it can't be an image of the event horizon because it's so much bigger (2.6 times bigger). But if you trace back the rays, you find that for every point in the shadow, there is a corresponding ray that traces back to the event horizon. So in fact from our one observing location, we see all sides of the event horizon simultaneously! In fact infinitely many of these images, accounting for the virtually infinite number of times a photon can orbit the black hole before falling in. The edge of the shadow is due to the photon sphere - the radius at which light goes around in closed orbits. If a light ray coming in at an oblique angle just skims the photon sphere and then travels on to our telescopes, that is the closest 'impact parameter' possible, and it occurs at sqrt(27)/2*r_s

En entrevista a ACI Prensa, el Secretario General de la Conferencia Episcopal de Chile (CECh) y Obispo de Melipilla, Mons. Cristián Contreras Villarroel, se refirió al rol social del laico católico y afirmó que ciertamente “tiene que conocer la cultura que le toca vivir, no para adaptarse a esa cultura sino para impregnar esa cultura con los valores del Evangelio y con el anuncio de Jesucristo”.

Agregó que es importante lograr “una síntesis de fe y vida, una síntesis de la celebración litúrgica con el compromiso, con la vida moral y ética personal y también comunitaria”.

“No puede ser que nosotros separemos el aspecto, por ejemplo, de la vida cultual de lo que son mis negocios, mi vida familiar, de lo que es vivir los grandes valores humanos como por ejemplo la justicia, la honradez, la verdad, la veracidad, el trabajo por la justicia y la paz, etc.”, sostuvo.

El Secretario General de la CECh destacó la invitación del Papa Francisco “a ser una Iglesia en salida”, pero también animó a trabajar por ser “una Iglesia de la acogida, para que se produzca este encuentro de una Iglesia que sale a anunciar el Evangelio con aquellos que están saliendo de sus periferias existenciales, con tantas problemáticas que le aquejan y quieren en la Iglesia también un espacio de acogida”.

Defensa de la vida

Por otro lado, frente a la consulta respecto al protagonismo de los laicos en temas como la defensa de la vida, el obispo reiteró la postura de la Iglesia en contra del actual proyecto de despenalización del aborto en Chile y advirtió que “en todo esto hay motivaciones de orden económico, de grandes trasnacionales. Son estos neocolonialismos culturales que nos quieren imponer a los países del sur”.

“Estos no eran los temas prioritarios para el país, pero decir eso es muy impopular y eso puede restar votos”, agregó Mons. Contreras en relación a las distintas iniciativas legales que están contempladas en la agenda valórica del Gobierno de la Presidenta Bachelet y que atentan directamente contra la familia y la vida en Chile.

Frente a esto Mons. Contreras comentó que el 21 de noviembre de este año se realizará por segunda vez en Santiago de Chile la marcha “La Alegría de Ser Católico”, de la cual él es parte del equipo organizador, que movilizará a miles de católicos por la defensa de la vida desde su concepción hasta la muerte natural.

“Nosotros queremos jugarnos por el derecho del ser humano a nacer y también por los derechos de ese ser humano nacido, y eso implica acompañar a la persona en todo el trayecto de su existencia en esta vida”, señaló el Obispo.
