Professor Freial Ozal, the only Turkish astronomer with the US Department of Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), revealed information about the Black Hole phenomenon, the first of which was taken months ago.

Last April, astronomers captured the first ever image of the black hole, located in a distant galaxy.

The area of ​​the hole is forty billion square kilometers, twice the size of the earth three million times, and scientists have likened it to the "beast," and is about 500 kilometers of land (Quadrillion = 1 trillion).

Research on black holes
Ozal was the only Turkish astronomer in the team of scientists to photograph the black hole, made up of 200 scientists of different nationalities.

Ozil said she has been researching black holes for nearly 20 years.

The black hole was found in a galaxy called M87, and the news was simultaneously published in press conferences in Washington, Brussels, Santiago, Shanghai, Taipei and Tokyo.

She explained that the first information they got from space in this regard was in 2017, and were able to see the first picture of the black hole in August 2018.

4 billion people saw the picture of the hole
"Scientists want to share what they discover at the first opportunity, but we waited until April 2019 to make sure we got the data we were looking for, and we were preparing the right images," she said.

She noted that more than four billion people around the world saw the first image of the hole through the media, expressing their happiness about this.

After successfully capturing the first black hole image, they are now working on the properties of the black holes around the universe, which they describe as "the strangest objects of the universe."

She stressed that taking a picture of the black hole is the beginning of the road to larger discoveries, gathering more data about the black holes and the universe.

"There is a black space in the hole where the light disappears, surrounded by a section that sees a continuous cycle of gases constantly moving into the center of the black hole with gravity," said Ozal.

Lack of Theory of Relativity for Einstein
Answering a question about what changed by taking the first picture of the black hole, Ozal said that "this step has set a new beginning for several stages to follow," explaining that they are currently looking for answers on whether the black holes have characteristics and features or not.

"We are currently working with the scientific team to prove that there is a deficiency in Einstein's theory of general relativity," Ozell said, "but it does explain well the gravity, but there are similar phenomena that do not give the theory a clear and complete explanation."

Successes in astrophysics
The Turkish scientist is currently pursuing her research on black holes, neutron stars and theoretical astrophysics. She also chairs the Committee on Theoretical Physics, NASA Space Telescope Space Science and Technology Group, the Space Horizon Telescope Science Council and the Chair of the Modeling and Analysis Working Group.

In 2013, the Turkish scientist was elected a member of the Turkish Academy of Sciences, and by 2015, her honorary membership had been awarded for her successes in astrophysics.

She has also won many international and American awards for her work, and has been able to register her name on the "Big Ideas" list of 20 world renowned scientists, including renowned physicist Albert Einstein and sportsman John Nish.
