Eleven telescopes. Countless scientists, engineers, and operators. One goal: a movie of the black hole in M87. The M87 MOVIE campaign is now underway. Follow along as the campaign unfolds. #M87Movie

Did you know that black holes are spinning?🌀🔎 To find out just how fast, EHT researchers used AI to connect simulated data to actual EHT measurements of M87 and SgrA*. They found that the black hole in SgrA* spins almost as fast as physically possible! aanda.org/articles/aa/full_h…

#A #NeuralNetwork trained on millions of synthetic data sets indicates the Milky Way’s central black hole spins near its maximum rate, with its axis oriented toward Earth. @AandA_journal doi.org/g9pbh9 phys.org/news/2025-06-neural…

⛈️The U of A camera facing the Catalina Mountains showcases the wet microburst that formed over the Foothills very well. You can see the storm form up and come down very quickly as this time lapse shows the last 90 minutes. #azwx

Breaking news: the Event Horizon Telescope team unveils strong magnetic fields spiraling at the edge of Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*. This new image suggests that strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes. #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHole

Black Hole PIRE@BHPIRE13 Apr 2023
Today brings us a beautiful new image of M87 by a team led by Lia Medeiros (@astronolia) along with BH PIRE members at Georgia Tech (@Feryal_Ozel and @DimitriosPSALT1) and NOIRLab (@TodLauer). “Fuzzy donut” no more thanks to their new ML technique, named PRIMO.

The iconic image of the supermassive black hole at the center of Messier 87, has received its first official makeover, thanks to a new machine-learning technique known as PRIMO! noirlab.edu/public/news/noir… 🧵⬇️

As this year’s journey around the Sun comes to an end, a longer one around the Galactic Center continues. So too do the EHT’s efforts to unveil the deepest secrets of Sgr A*. We set our sights on explaining this and further horizons at the 2022 EHT Collaboration Meeting Dec 12-15
