Is the milk sold today similar to the milk available 100 years ago? Here, drink this and give me your results. Also, physicists achieve superconductivity at a temperature slightly higher than 0 degrees Kelvin and slightly lower than 2…
The Event Horizon Telescope has given us amazing views of the supermassive black holes at the hearts of M87 and the Milky Way. A new image from the EHT shows another black hole at the core of the radio galaxy 3C 84. Unlike the previous…
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration and scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Germany used an Earth-sized radio telescope array to observe the jet base of an evolving plasma jet outflow from a…
Astronomers investigated an active supermassive black hole at the heart of Perseus A using the Event Horizon Telescope, spotting an epic battle between gravity and magnetism.
In 2017, a worldwide collection of radio telescopes gathered data about the event horizon around the supermassive black hole at the heart of M87. This was the first time we saw the shadow of a black hole. One year later, the Event Horizon…
Telescopes have come a long way in a little over four hundred years! It was 1608 that Dutch spectacle maker Hans Lippershey who was said to be working with a case of myopia and, in working with lenses discovered the magnifying powers if…
Millisecond pulsars are amazing astronomical tools. They are fast-rotating neutron stars that sweep beams of radio energy from their magnetic poles, and when they are aligned just right we see them as rapidly flashing radio beacons. They…
The Event Horizon Telescope is a collection of radio telescopes across the globe that simultaneously gathered data about the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, acting as a single telescope the size of planet Earth. This revealed the…
Astronomers transfixed the public in April 2019 when they released the first-ever image of a black hole, produced by radio wave data from a collaboration of telescopes around the world known collectively as the Event Horizon Telescope.
Get latest articles and stories on World at LatestLY. In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration produced the first-ever image of a black hole, stunning the world.
Beyond just looking at black holes, the next-generation Event Horizon Telescope collaboration is the first to bring together perspectives from across the sciences and humanities.
Astronomers using the Event Horizon Telescope were able to see a supermassive blackhole powering a super bright quasar at the heart of a distant galaxy.
Oftentimes in astronomy, it takes a village of telescopes and people to make an amazing find. In the case of the quasar NRAO 530, it took a planet full of radio dishes ganged together to peer into its heart. Then, it took a major…
A large team of scientists has used data from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project to create images of the NRAO 530 quasar. The findings are published in The Astrophysical Journal.
