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...
For the past four years, the National Society of Black Physicists ( NSBP ) and the Smithsonian Astronomical Observatory ( SAO ) have partnered to create cutting-edge research internships within the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project targeting STEM...
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has published new results that describe for the first time how light from the edge of the supermassive black hole M87* spirals as it escapes the black hole’s intense gravity, a signature known as circular...
A global collaboration of scientists used the Earth-size virtual radio telescope, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), to see the innermost parts of the quasar NRAO 530. Quasars are extremely powerful sources of radiation located in the centers of distant...
Scientists at the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) have imaged the distant blazar J1924-2914 with unprecedented angular resolution, revealing previously unseen details of the source structure. Blazars are powerful active galactic nuclei, in which...
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration (EHTC) welcomes critical, independent analysis and interpretation of our published results. We publish detailed descriptions of our methods as well as raw data, data products, and analysis scripts to facilitate...
Astronomers have unveiled the first image of the supermassive black hole at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy. This result provides overwhelming evidence that the object is indeed a black hole and yields valuable clues about the workings of such...
