Here's a simulation of what the Event Horizon Team thought the black hole would look like. And here's the real image. The light you see here is what's called the accretion disk. It's a disk of ...

"For such a faint and unknown target, we were not sure if we would get any data at all — but the strategy worked." ...

Collaboration published the first image of a black hole, of M87* from the center of the galaxy M87. The measurement data on which the image was based was obtained in 2017. The EHT Collaboration has ...

screaming away from another black hole at near light-speed. The scene was actually in the "background" of the original target. The scientists who operate the Event Horizon Telescope describe the ...

Using observations from 2017 and 2018, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has advanced our understanding of the ...

The team of astronomers made the observations of the heart of the radio galaxy 3C 84, also known as Perseus A, a region powered by a feeding supermassive black hole, using the Event Horizon ...

Our fascination with black holes is pretty understandable; their one-way boundary, the "event horizon," traps light, meaning no signal can ever travel from inside a black hole to outside.

By reducing these scattering effects, the EHT can now observe structures as intricate as photon rings, which form when light ...

In 2018, astronomers took the first-ever picture of a black hole, a fascinating and unprecedented glimpse of an event horizon. And as it turns out, the black hole — dubbed M87* and located some ...

Astronomers studying elusive supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies ... of Technology in Sweden are now confident the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) — a planet-sized array of eight ...
