Black holes are one of the universe’s most exotic and elusive objects. When nothing, not even light, can escape their powerful gravitational grasp, taking a picture of one seems unimaginable. But an image of a black hole, or more accurately its shadow, could offer insights that theory alone may not provide when testing predictions. So how can it be done? Harvard astrophysicist Shep Doeleman and a team of 250 researchers achieved this extraordinary feat by linking a group of radio telescopes around the world. This network, called the Event Horizon Telescope, produced the first image of a superm

From sleep paralysis and haunted houses to séances, paranormal investigations and the power of suggestion, they ask why people see and sense things that aren't there, what makes somewhere feel haunted, and whether science can explain our strangest ghostly encounters.
