Event Horizon Telescope Makes Historic Black Hole Observation

Previously, we were able to make observations at the sharper 0.87-millimeter wavelength, but only using telescopes in space, which ran into the size problem of the array we mentioned earlier. Now that the 0.87-millimeter wavelength observations from the Event Horizon Telescope Array on Earth are possible, the new images should be quite a bit more impressive than the ones we’ve previously seen.

Of course, time is still a factor as the observations have to be made, and the images have to be processed, but what we eventually get to see will undoubtedly be worth the wait.
