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...

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration (EHTC) and Joint ALMA Observatory (JAO) announce the public data release of the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) 1-mm observations by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) in April 2017. The overall goal of...

Simultaneous press conferences will announce groundbreaking results from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration, those will be synchronised at 13:00 Universal Time on May 12th, 2022. Those will be held in collaboration with the USA National Science...

An international team anchored by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration, which is known for capturing the first image of a black hole in the galaxy Messier 87, has now imaged the heart of the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A in unprecedented...

Launched in 2020, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory partnership with the National Society of Black Physicists welcomes two Summer 2021 interns to work on Event Horizon Telescope science. Cambridge, MA (July 14, 2021)— Center for Astrophysics |...
