An international consortium led by Radboud University has secured a contract agreement for the construction of a radio telescope that will become the Africa Millimetre Telescope (AMT) in Namibia. The new telescope will be an essential addition to the...

• Recently published data from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) of the galaxy Messier 87 facilitate new insights into the direct environment of the central supermassive black hole. • Measured differences in the radio light on different spatial scales can...

For the first time, astronomers have directly observed the dynamic interaction between shock waves (regions of compressed plasma) and helical pressure waves in the jet of a supermassive black hole, thanks to groundbreaking observations by the Event...

£4M Faraday Discovery Fellowship Awarded to EHT Deputy Project Scientist, Kazunori Akiyama The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Deputy Project Scientist, Dr. Kazunori Akiyama , has been awarded a £4 million Faraday Discovery Fellowship by the United Kingdom...

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has unveiled new, detailed images of the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87- known as M87*- revealing a dynamic environment with changing polarization patterns near the black hole...

M87'S POWERFUL JET UNLEASHES RARE GAMMA-RAY OUTBURST It is the first very high-energy flaring episode recorded from M87 since 2010. The data were collected by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration during a multi-wavelength observational campaign...

In 2022, the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration (EHTC) published the first image of the black hole in the Milky Way Galactic Center, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*; 1). The image shows a ring-like structure with a central depression, consistent with the...

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration, in collaboration with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), has conducted test observations achieving the highest-resolution ever obtained from the surface of the Earth, by detecting...

A new image from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has uncovered strong and organized magnetic fields spiraling from the edge of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). Seen in polarized light for the first time, this new view...

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has released new images of M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87, using data from observations taken in April 2018. With the participation of the newly commissioned...
