The article says "Two years ago, astronomers with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project unveiled imagery of that black hole, which lies 55 million light-years from Earth and is as massive as 6.5 billion suns. Those photos were historic — the first direct views of a black hole that humanity had ever captured."

The diameter of the SMBH ~ 257 au. At a distance of 16.86E+6 pc, the angular resolution to resolve (optical light) ~ 1.52E-2 mas. 1000 mas = 1 arcsecond.
