Are We About To See A Black Hole?
A project called the Event Horizon Telescope is analyzing data taken earlier this year using interferometry — and we may be remarkably close to "seeing" a black hole, says astrophysicist Adam Frank.
If there is one thing science is good for, it's going to extremes.
A lot of science's history is just one story after another of people figuring out how to do something that, just a few years before, was thought to be impossible.
The impossible was heavy on my mind last Wednesday as I found out just how close we were to seeing — as in taking actual pictures — of black holes.
is a computational astrophysicist. Like me, he uses supercomputers to simulate the (or EHT) has gotten in the project of seeing black holes.
