Today marks the last day of meetings for the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration in Berlin, Germany. The collaborative effort shared on X (formerly Twitter) last week that a meeting would be held in Berlin from July 14-18. \u201c120 international scientists will gather to discuss the next big goals for black hole science \u2013 publishing new, better images using recent data and creating \u201cmovies\u201d of M87*,\u201d EHT shared on X.<\/p>\n

The Event Horizon Telescope Array is a virtual Earth-sized telescope made using the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) method. This method allows the ~11 participating observatories to observe an object in short wavelengths at the same time, then use their offset on Earth when correlating the data to create a more detailed image. <\/p>\n

One of the big future goals of the EHT is to produce \u201cmovies\u201d or moving images of M87*, the black hole in M87, a supergiant elliptical galaxy. EHT scientists have already observed M87* in 2017 and 2018 resulting in seeing a 30\u00ba shift in the \u201cbright\u201d part of the black hole ring. This shift is expected and demonstrates the turbulent nature of the material around the black hole.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven for M87* we can observe over days and actually make a beautiful video of how matter is falling into the black hole,\u201d MIT Haystack and EHT research scientist Kazunori Akiyama said in and interview with Space Explored in 2023. He added that this video will also show and begin to explain how matter might escape the black hole, a phenomenon with little understanding. <\/p>\n
