Higher-Resolution Radio Astronomy Observations Key to Future Discoveries | NSF

Higher-Resolution Radio Astronomy Observations Key to Future Discoveries | NSF

The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration, a global network of radio telescopes funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and international partners, has achieved the highest resolution radio observations of astronomical objects ever obtained. 

For this experiment, the researchers detected radio waves from distant galaxies at a wavelength of 0.87 mm, a substantial improvement from the 1.3 mm wavelength observations the collaboration previously used to image supermassive black holes in two galaxies.
