@ehtelescope ☝️ Event Horizon Telescope, the global network of telescopes which captured the first image of a supermassive black hole (yes, that one), studies extreme phenomena of the universe and is working on new discoveries. And they have just landed on the fediverse with an official account.
Hello Mastodon!
We’re the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) - a global network of telescopes working together to study black holes and other extreme cosmic phenomena.
In 2019, we captured the first image of a supermassive black hole (M87*), followed in 2022 by Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.
Follow @span ehtelescope for scientific updates, behind-the-scenes looks at our worldwide collaboration, and the latest discoveries from the edge of space and time.

🪐 Scientists Say Black Holes Could Form Inside Planets, Leading to Absolute Catastrophe
｢ "Whether a black hole inside a planet survives or not depends on how massive it is when it first forms," Phoroutan-Mehr told Physics World. If it starts off small enough, it may wink out before it has a chance to feed and grow ｣
