Publisher's Synopsis
It Took Eight Telescopes and More than 200 Astronomers to Produce the First-Ever Image of a Black Hole Named M87* 55 Million Light-Years from Earth The poet-artist-scientist in me instantly fell in cosmic love with M87*. My soul became so obsessed with M87* I gave her a nick name: I call her ZooMa, my beloved Black Hole. My Black Hole soulmate. This obsession became this book as acknowledgement and tribute to this truly mind-boggling discovery. I was always interested in pushing the full potential of state-of-the-art image processing to the dayglow outer limits. You could say I was manically pushed a bit creating 108 ZooMa works of Art. Perhaps these images can make you feel a bit stoned. Of course, I consider them cosmic Mandalas. May ZooMa make you feel a little bit better about our small place in this big Universe.
