For the first time, astronomers have managed to take a photo of a supermassive black hole and its shadow. They used the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a worldwide network of eight radio telescopes, that together form a virtual telescope the size of the earth. The news was presented in six press conferences around the world […]
L’Event Horizon Telescope, collaborazione internazionale che vede la partecipazione di centri di ricerca in tutto il mondo, svela oggi la foto del secolo. Due ricercatrici dell’Inaf, Elisabetta Liuzzo e Kazi Rygl, sono tra i protagonisti della rivoluzionaria osservazione del gigantesco buco nero nel cuore della galassia Messier 87, come parte del progetto BlackHoleCam. Un altro […]
An international collaboration presents paradigm-shifting observations of the gargantuan black hole at the heart of distant galaxy Messier 87. The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) — a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration — was designed to capture images of a black hole. Today, in coordinated press conferences across the globe, […]
At the centre of our own galaxy there is a black hole, called Sagittarius A*. In anticipation of the first actual photograph of a black hole, an international project involving astronomers of BlackHoleCam, Jordy Davelaar and colleagues have built a virtual reality (VR) simulation of the phenomenon. The VR simulation was published in Computational Astrophysics […]
