A new preprint introduces "Photon-Ring Retarded-Time Tomography," a novel method for analyzing near-critical null geodesics around black holes. This technique aims to organize the inverse problem of black hole imaging, potentially extending the observable history beyond direct imaging. As a preliminary, non-peer-reviewed finding, its full implications are yet to be established.
