Why was it such a big deal to take a picture of a black hole?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46841points) April 14th, 2019

From what I can tell they just determined what radiation, elements, gases and cosmic dust surrounded it, picked a color for them, and mapped it.
But they’ve been doing that for decades already.
So what makes the black hole picture so special?
