"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 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.

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.
