Combining antennas on Earth and the Moon will deliver incredible sharpness. Astronomers have selected six black holes in alien galaxies whose silhouettes will become visible. The real twist: to glimpse the thinnest ring of light around them, we'll need antennas floating in space between planets.

Numerical simulations revealed how plasma gets stuck in the throat of a rotating wormhole, painting a thin luminous rim on its shadow and making it flicker with a period set by mass and spin. These signatures, observable by the Event Horizon Telescope at 230 GHz, turn active galactic nuclei into nat
