Press conferences will be held across the globe on April 10.
In 2017, scientists set out on a mission to take the very first picture of a black hole's event horizon. Over 10 days, the team observed Sagittarius A*—the black hole that sits at the center of the Milky Way. They linked up telescopes around the globe virtually, and by doing so created one huge, Earth-sized telescope.
Now, the researchers are set “to present a groundbreaking result from the EHT,” a statement from the European Southern Observatory and the U.S. National Science Foundation said. The announcement will be made on April 10 and viewers can watch a livestream here. The NSF conference will be attended by a panel of EHT researchers, including Sheperd Doeleman, from the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard & Smithsonian, Daniel Marrone, from the University of Arizona, Avery Broderick, of Canada’s University of Waterloo, and Sera Markoff, from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
Astronomers can see black holes as the material they accumulate is extremely hot—so appears very bright. However, we currently have no decent image of a black hole or its event horizon because the resolution of the images is not high enough, so just appears as a bright blur. It is hoped the EHT will change this, providing researchers with a clear image showing the event horizon ring and the shadow of the black hole.
