"With the incredible angular resolution of the Event Horizon Telescope, we could observe a billiard game being played on the Moon and not lose track of the score!"

Astrophysicists release "movie" taken of "wobbling" black hole

Not Quite 24 Frames Per Second

A team of scientists have turned the first ever image of a black hole released last year into a short animation by digging through their archives.

Astrophysicists Release Landmark “Movie” of Wobbling Black Hole

"If you want to see a black hole evolve over a decade, there is no substitute for having a decade of data."

Last year, there was an image of a black hole. Now, there's a video of a black hole spewing out jets of matter.

Scientists release incredible video of black hole spewing matter

Spinning Black Circle

After the first-ever image of a black hole, we now have the ultimate follow-up: a video of a supermassive black hole spewing out jets of particles.

Scientists Release Incredible Video of Black Hole Spewing Matter

It's the "equivalent of someone on Earth identifying an orange on the Moon."

"The impact of black holes on the universe is huge."

This year, we'll see a black hole for the first time in history

Hard Science

Using data collected from their network of telescopes, the Event Horizons Telescope team hopes to produce the first ever image of a black hole in 2018.

This Year, We'll See a Black Hole for the First Time in History

If one telescope can't get the job done, try using eight.

This Year, We’ll See a Black Hole for the First Time in History

This telescope could produce the first image of a black hole.

We May Finally Get a Picture of a Black Hole

We know they are out there, but it’d be nice to see one for ourselves.

Off World

The Event Horizon Telescope Project is scheduled to take the very first snapshot of a black hole's event horizon by April 2017.
Sagittarius A, the black hole in the middle of the Milky Way galaxy, sits more than 25,000 light years away from Earth. 

Into the Abyss: Astronomers Are Trying To “See” a Black Hole for the First Time Ever

And they're using a team of nine telescopes just to do it.

Physicists from MIT and Harvard have developed a new algorithm called CHIRP to predict the parts of a black hole that radio telescopes failed to capture.

Thanks to a New Algorithm, We Could Soon Have Actual Images of a Black Hole

Direct images of black holes may soon just be one click away.

The Event Horizon Telescope is set to give us our first-ever image of the "point of no return" surrounding a supermassive black hole.
