Frederic Gueth, deputy director of the Institute for Millimetric Radio Astronomy (IRAM) in Grenoble, France, talked about the ground-breaking make the most and the science behind it. “The event Horizon Telescope (EHT) marshalled all of the millimetric (radio) telescopes in the world to make the identical rigorous observations at precisely the same time.
“by using combining the facts gathered with the aid of all the telescopes — a method referred to as very long baseline interferometry — we created a digital antenna the diameter of Earth.–HADISA
