If back hole has that strong of a gravitational potential, how is light escaping the black hole to reflect and show an image? How are they able to take the picture of a black hole using light?

This is the same algorithm you use to image 3D tomography and 3D transmission electron microscope, only this data set is more intense.

I have no respect for CNN. Very biased and run their liberal agenda 24x7. #Norespect #liberaldonkeys. I bet in a few days they will correct the article they have written as it is just a sensationalist piece of junk. #intellectualidiots

I still don't understand how they can image a black hole using light, when black hole should have enough gravity to bend a beam to light. Is it the diffracted light they are imaging? It obviously is more blurry if it is diffracted light instead of reflected light.

Maybe that's why, the image is blurry. At each point, the light wave is refracted. So the topography is not very accurate. Maybe it's not a circle with a hole? Maybe the dimensions are different. 

[DrBeta]

Maybe she is using radiowaves instead of light waves. Obviously the resolution using light won't work to image something so far away.

It is the image of the light emitted by matter surrounding the black hole and not the black hole itself.
