They recently managed to take pictures of a black hole, seems quite amazing. Also what type of code would they have used?
Black hole
Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it was Python, as that seems to be the go-to language these days for people doing data processing and analytics in the astronomy world -- and they had lots of data from the several separate radio telescopes to comb through and merge into one "image" (what we saw being a graphic representation of the radio signals they processed).
It does seem a language that has a lot of use, I've never really looked at it
It's kinda handy ... but if you start with it, be sure to rip the TAB keys off your keyboards

I 'imported antigravity' and all I got was this cartoon!

I wish I had my telescope here, the night sky is amazing
