The Event Horizon Telescope is a global network of synchronized radio observatories that work in unison to observe radio sources associated with black holes with angular resolution comparable to their event horizons. The required extreme resolving power...

Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), the technique used by the EHT to create a virtual Earth-sized dish, has been called the ‘ultimate in delayed gratification’ among astronomers. Radio waves from the edge of a distant supermassive black hole are...

The winter meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) is the biggest yearly meeting of astronomers and astrophysicists in North America. More than 3000 students and professionals meet to present and discuss the latest progress on many interesting...

The Event Horizon Telescope needs your help! We have put together a proposal for a panel to be featured at the 2019 South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas, March 8-17 2019. Over 5,000 panels have been submitted to SXSW, but fewer than 1,000...

Over the past two months, the EHT team has been working hard on processing a preliminary data set that does not yet include any data from the South Pole station. Using this data set, the team has refined the data processing pipelines that will be used to...

This short animated movie, made in collaboration between the EHT group at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and animator Chris Jones, explains some of the nuts and bolts behind this ambitious endeavour. The movie is available on the EHT Youtube...
