Event Horizon 'Scope

The intense gravitational pull of a black hole bends the light around it. #blackholeweek https://www.sciencenews.org/article/nasa-new-black-hole-visualizations-showcase-how-gravity-warps-light …pic.twitter.com/lQX744EGPg

Was exciting to see the world come together to create this! Eight telescopes around the world, synchronized with atomic clocks, creating a virtual telescope dish as large as the Earth itself. #BlackHoleWeek More on black holes: http://nsf.gov/blackholes pic.twitter.com/93pXZzMKN5

The @BlackHoleCam teams is ready to go !! (@Fraga_Encinas @RomanGold7 @thomasbronzwaer & Michael Janssen). Come see us and the #EHTblackhole at the #RiDaysEU @ERC_Research @EUScienceInnov #EUfundedpic.twitter.com/khaDLmKHDX

¿Interesado en los agujeros negros ? Con motivo de la #BlackHoleWeek, la @NASA nos trae una guía muy chula para aprender más sobre ellos... y cómo mantenernos a salvo . Descúbrela aquí https://go.nasa.gov/2kP3hqx , junto con más contenido multimedia.pic.twitter.com/0TMyUf2i5e

It’s #BlackHoleWeek! Ever thought about visiting a black hole? We wouldn’t recommend it … Still want to? Well, we have some safety tips for you. https://go.nasa.gov/2kP3hqx pic.twitter.com/n5fapkUNfP

The @NSF just awarded 13 M$ to a design study to expand the @ehtelescope. This is a strong signal that the black hole saga will continue. Congratulations to our US colleagues for this success and for the strong support from their national funding agency. https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1935980 …pic.twitter.com/WcmCcprFrl

This week the 2020 Breakthrough Prize was awarded to Event Horizon Telescope – a global scientific collaboration involving #EUfunded scientists that captured the first image of a black hole. The prize recognises achievements in life sciences, fundamental physics and mathematics.pic.twitter.com/bXr3YMG0uv

The event (horizon) is approaching! Mark your calendars for Black Hole Week – September 23-27. pic.twitter.com/RV8nE4gYXk

YERAC 2019 kicked off with the first in a series of four talks about the EHT's imaging of the M87 black hole by Michael Janssen entitled `The 2017 observations of the Event Horizon Telescope' #YERAC2019 #DIASdiscovers @DIAS_Dublin @RadioNet_EU @tcddublin @ehtelescopepic.twitter.com/yiUvlmbjFP

Un honor cerrar las conferencias del Guillermo Haro workshop en el @inaoe_mx con el Dr. David Hughes, director del GTM, conversando sobre la primera imagen de un agujero negro con el @ehtelescopepic.twitter.com/gWlwcwhWDD

Sheperd Doeleman (Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian) is being honored with the 2020 Berkeley prize for his scientific contributions to, and his leadership of, the @ehtelescope https://aas.org/posts/news/2019/07/shep-doeleman-receive-2020-berkeley-prize …pic.twitter.com/bZR1tr3gpw

A very productive 'busy' week at the Max Planck Institute for Radioastronomie (MPIfR) just concluded, where a team of over 50 @ehtelescope astronomers from all over the world, including @BlackHoleCam team members, worked eagerly on the polarimetry of the Event Horizon Telescope.pic.twitter.com/NCNSz9zaxr

Polarimetry workshop of the @ehtelescope opened by Monika Moscibrodzka @mmosc_m. An enthusiastic #EHT crowd here in Bonn is eager to get going - including @thisgreyspirit @SaraIssaoun @maciekwielgus3 and many others. Don’t expect tweets on results for #M87 though ... pic.twitter.com/AT9EaP9veg

Curious about the "nuts & bolts" of data storage for the @ehtelescope ? Interesting piece by @thomascoughlin via @Forbes #innovation #DataStorage #EHTBlackHole https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomcoughlin/2019/06/26/black-hole-data-processing-storage/#52bd7415bca9 …pic.twitter.com/EyvDqWpNuW
