Event Horizon Telescope observatories, composite image


Composite image showing the radio observatories that form the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) network used to image the Milky Way's central black hole, Sagittarius A* in 2017. The slightly transparent telescopes in the background represent the three telescopes added to the EHT network after 2018: the Greenland Telescope, the NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) in France, and the UArizona ARO 12-meter Telescope at Kitt Peak.
