"A network of nine radio telescopes, dotted around the globe, is set to take the first ever picture of a black hole's event horizon in 2017. The project, called the Event Horizon Telescope, has completed most of its technical preparations as well as...
Most of the data collected in April 2017 EHT global campaign have now been through a first stage of processing at the MIT Haystack Observatory (Cambridge, MA, USA) and the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR; Bonn, Germany). Computing clusters...
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...

The April 2017 Observations gallery has just been updated with new photos from the South Pole Telescope. These photos bring you inside the reciever cabin, outside on the telescope in temperature of -60 degrees Celsius, and under an Antarctic night sky...
The delivery of disks full of VLBI data for Event Horizon Telescope observations in April 2017 from the South Pole Telescope to the MIT Haystack Observatory made it to the list of the most interesting events in science at the end of 2017: Nature
In his recent Forbes article, astronomer and author Ethan Siegel covered many basics of the Event Horizon Telescope mission and expectations for what we may soon be "seeing" based on the observations taken in 2017.
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...
We consider ourselves very fortunate that our science is widely viewed as compelling, and that many observatories supported the Event Horizon Telescope observations. The following radio telescope observatories were involved in our 2017 observations: ALMA...
It is an exciting time in the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project. After many years of preparation, our team mounted a week-long observing campaign in April of this year that linked together 8 telescopes in Hawaii, the South Pole, Arizona, Spain, Mexico...
