While a promising target for EHT imaging, the galaxy's heart is"faint, complex and more challenging than all other sources we've attempted so far," Baczko said in a."For such a faint and unknown target, we were not sure if we would get any data at all — but the strategy worked." The team's observations revealed that NGC 1052's black hole region emits bright radio waves at a one-millimeter wavelength.
