Photographing our Galaxy's Black Hole
Ζωντανή μετάδοση στις 19 Ιαν 2017
A
black hole is so dense that not even light can escape it. So we can't
possibly photograph one, can we? Yes, we can. More accurately, we can
observe its silhouette or shadow against the glowing disk of material
it’s swallowing. The Event Horizon Telescope will unite facilities
around the globe to form an Earth-sized telescope. With it, we will get
our first detailed look at the giant black hole at the center of the
Milky Way. And we will put Einstein’s theory to the ultimate test.
