Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Event Horizon Telescope captured the first black hole image?

Yes. A Wikipedia reference and a StackExchange answer both state that the Event Horizon Telescope obtained the first image of a black hole, at M87, in April 2019. Several peer-reviewed papers confirm EHT's first M87 images, though those cover only that target.
