Fascinating example of international cooperation by EUROPEAN SOUTHERN OBSERVATORY
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. In coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers revealed that they succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow.
This 17-minute film explores the efforts that led to this historic image from the science of
Einstein and Schwarzschild to the struggles and successes of the EHT collaboration.
