Horizon Telescope Collaboration

The Horizon Telescope Collaboration is a group of scientists and astronomers working together to study black holes using advanced telescopes. Their most notable achievement is capturing the first-ever image of a black hole's event horizon, the boundary beyond which nothing can escape, in the galaxy M87. This groundbreaking work enhances our understanding of these mysterious cosmic phenomena and supports Einstein's theories about gravity and space. The collaboration utilizes data from various telescopes around the world, combining their efforts to create high-resolution images of black holes, which are crucial for advancing astrophysics and expanding our knowledge of the universe.
