In a recent blog post within the series entitled "Taking the First Picture of a Black Hole", the ESO outreach team explains some technological challenges that the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration faces in pursuit of high-resolution images of black...
Scientific American Senior Editor Seth Fletcher's staff blog about the EHT and other black hole science topics.
On NPR's 13.7 blog, Adam Frank, an astrophysics professor and an author, and Charles Gammie, a member of the EHT collaboration, discuss how close we are to obtaining images of black holes: Are We About To See A Black Hole?
At the centre of our own galaxy there is a black hole, called Sagittarius A*. In anticipation of the first actual photograph of a black hole, an international project that also involves astronomers of Radboud University, Jordy Davelaar and colleagues have...
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...
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 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...
Huib van Langevelde, a radio astronomer at the Joint Institute for VLBI ERIC (JIVE), has been named Project Director of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a world-wide collaboration of more than 300 scientists from institutions around the world, known for...
Latest Results The latest results from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration were published on Feb 8th 2023. Astronomers Reveal First Image of the Black Hole at the Heart of Our Galaxy On May 12th 2022, the EHT Collaboration presented the first...
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...
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...
