In April 2019, scientists released the first image of a black hole in the galaxy M87 using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). However, that remarkable achievement was just the beginning of the science story to be told. Data from nineteen observatories are...
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, who produced the first ever image of a black hole, has revealed today a new view of the massive object at the centre of the M87 galaxy: how it looks in polarised light. This is the first time astronomers...
Analysis of the Event Horizon Telescope observations from 2009-2017 reveals turbulent evolution of the M87* black hole image In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration delivered the first image of a black hole , revealing M87*—the...
Einstein's theory of general relativity – the idea that gravity is matter warping spacetime – has withstood over 100 years of scrutiny and testing, including the newest test from the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration, published today in the latest...
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...
Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration scientists use data which produced the first image of a black hole to constrain its fundamental properties. In 2019, the EHT Collaboration published the first image of a black hole located at the centre of the galaxy...
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 |...
Recognizing their vision and leadership within the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) awards Shep Doeleman and Heino Falcke the Henry Draper Medal. The 300+ members of the collaboration are honored and proud of this...
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration is pleased to have been granted by the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) the 2021 Group Achievement Award (A). The EHT is a global network of synchronised radio observatories that work in unison to observe...
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 (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...
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...
