The Event Horizon
Telescope (EHT) is a project to create a large telescope
array consisting of a global network of radio telescopes and
combining data from several very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI)
stations around the Earth. The aim is to observe the immediate environment of
the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* at the center of
the Milky Way, as well as the even larger black hole in the super giant
elliptical galaxy Messier 87, with angular resolution comparable
to the black hole’s event horizon.
On April 10th 2019,
the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration will present its
first results in multiple simultaneous press conferences around the world,
and many satellite events organized by its stakeholder and affiliated institutions.
Press conferences will be held simultaneously in Brussels (in English), Lyngby
(in Danish), Santiago (in Spanish), Shanghai (in Mandarin), Tokyo (in
Japanese), Taipei (in Mandarin), and Washington D.C. (in English),
starting at 13:00 Universal Time.
