This is Dr. Katie Bouman. She's the computer scientist behind the first-ever image of a black hole. She developed the algorithm that turned telescopic data into the historic photo we see today.

Congratulations to Katie Bouman to whom we owe the first photograph of a black hole ever. Not seeing her name circulate nearly enough in the press. Amazing work. And here’s to more women in science (getting their credit and being remembered in history) 💥🔥☄️
