Zooming in to the Heart of Messier 87
This zoom video starts with a view of ALMA and zooms in on the heart of M87, showing successively more detailed observations and culminating in the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole’s shadow.

Animation zooming into M87 to show its accretion disk, ray-traced images and blurring due to instrument noise, demonstrating how the image obtained with the Event Horizon Telescope fit into a bigger picture. This version has explanatory text in English.

Rotating globe and snapshots of EHT telescopes observing M87 in April 2017
This video shows the global network of radio telescopes in the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) array that performed groundbreaking observations in April 2017. With a technique called Very Long Baseline Interferometry they were combined into a large "virtual" telescope as large as the Earth. Credit: C. Fromm & L.
