People around the world felt excited on the night of April 10, 2019. For the first time in history, people saw a photo of a black hole(洞). The photo became popular immediately(立刻). But do you know it has something to do with a computer scientist Katie Bouman. Without her, there wouldn’t be this photo.
Black holes are very far from us, so it is very difficult to take photos of them. It’s like taking a photo of an orange that is on the moon. Many scientists had tried. However, none of them is successful. These failures(失败) didn’t stop Bouman from trying. Several years ago, she started working on a special computer program. During the past years, she has improved the program many times. Finally, it turned telescope data(望远镜数据) into a photo of a black hole.
Bouman has received lots of praise(赞扬) because of her work. The young woman, however, is modest. She said the success mainly depends on(依靠于) her team. “None of us could do it alone,” she said.
Would you like to make history as Bouman did? Set a goal(目标) for yourself and work hard at it. Maybe you will make it come true in the future.
