The telescopes on Maunakea are very active in black hole research. In this video, @SubaruTel_Eng, @keckobservatory, @GeminiObs
were observing the center of the Milky Way with Nobel prize winner Prof. Ghez using Keck at that time. (Credit: Dan Birchall/NAOJ)

[Sean Carroll @seanmcarroll]

Roger Penrose won the Nobel Prize for showing that black holes are an almost-unavoidable prediction of classical general relativity. Let's take a peek into what that entailed. 1/n

@astrochic73 @GalacticCtrGrp Love it

[Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA]

Congratulations to Professor Andrea Ghez of @UCLA, whose work led to the discovery of a black hole at the center of our galaxy. As the 4th woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics, she's an inspiration — a reminder that everyone can reach for the stars.

Thank you, @keckobservatory!!!  This award #NobelPrize2020 reflects in large part the great team at Keck Observatory!!

Announcement of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics https://t.co/AmHvFZBRMQ via @YouTube, with an excellent explanation of the science behind the prize.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

"It amazes me every time I go to the telescope."

We spoke to 2020 Physics Laureate Andrea Ghez shortly after she heard the news of her #NobelPrize. She shares her motivation for becoming an astrophysicist and describes the prize as "an opportunity and a responsibility."

[U.S. National Science Foundation @NSF]

Congrats to Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel & Andrea Ghez for being awarded the #NobelPrize in Physics! Their work opened vast new possibilities for studying black holes, incl a two-decade #NSFfunded project from Ghez to track a star orbiting our galaxy's supermassive black hole.

Congratulations to Andrea!

And here's a little film we funded last year at Heising-Simons Foundation.

Congratulations to our own Andrea Ghez, winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics!!! https://t.co/Mi753tBq1c

More mystery objects found near our Galaxy's supermassive black hole! Congratulations to our postdoc, Anna Ciurlo and collaborator at Keck, Randy Campbell! https://t.co/P8weiDXwrp

Let's see what's happening with Sgr A* tonight @keckobservatory ! https://t.co/4pP5BEowhn

[Tuan Do @quantumpenguin]

Here's a timelapse of images over 2.5 hr from May from @keckobservatory of the supermassive black hole Sgr A*. The black hole is always variable, but this was the brightest we've seen in the infrared so far. It was probably even brighter before we started observing that night!

[University of California @UofCalifornia]

"Einstein's right, at least for now"—@ucla astronomy professor Andrea Ghez. Astronomers have shown that Einstein's ideas about space & time still hold true as the best description yet of how gravity works. Via @nbcnewsmach https://t.co/DEp7hqsXAV

[Tuan Do @quantumpenguin]

This is an amazing time lapse made by @abhimatgautam of the 24 years of imaging data that went into our S0-2 gravitational redshift measurement.
