Event Horizon Telescope

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a pioneering international consortium dedicated to advancing Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technology to capture unprecedented high-resolution images of supermassive black holes. By synchronizing a global network of radio telescopes operating at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths, EHT has successfully imaged the event horizons of Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and M87* in the Virgo A galaxy, providing groundbreaking empirical validation of black hole physics and gravitational lensing theories. Supported by significant funding, including $12.7 million from the U.S. National Science Foundation in 2019, EHT leverages cutting-edge...
