Big congrats 👏 to our Event Horizon 'Scope colleague Michael Johnson of Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian & his collaborator. Their research on the substructure & properties of black hole photon rings can lead to precise measurements of the BH spin & mass.

This simulation shows a black hole image in total intensity (or ‘normal’ light, left) and in circular polarization (right). The blue and red colors of the circular polarization movie correspond to light rotating clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively. Credit: Angelo Ricarte
