VANIER: You have probably seen that historic first ever picture of a black hole. Here it is in case you haven't. This is really, really impressive stuff. Black holes are supposed to be invisible. You're not supposed to see this. What you might not know is this woman, Katie Bouman, gets the credit for making it happen. She developed an algorithm three years ago that paved the way for the photograph to be taken. At the time she was a graduate student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her alma mater tweeted about her achievement after the image was released. Writing her into the history books alongside another MIT graduate, Margaret Hamilton -- on the left there -- helped write the code in the '60s that put a man on the moon. Yay MIT. I'm Cyril Vanier. That was CONNECT THE WORLD. Thank you so much for watching. END
