Breaking news: the Event Horizon Telescope team unveils strong magnetic fields spiraling at the edge of Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*. This new image suggests that strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes.

Many @ehtelescope postdocs and junior staffs shared the exciting frontier of EHT science and technology! In our session, Lindy Blackburn and Iniyan Natarajan from @saoastro gave fantastic talks on EHT data processing and new software in @JuliaLanguage. #URSIGASS2023
In the VLBI session, @ehtelescope highjacked an hour of the block! Kotaro Moriyama gave an excellent overview of EHT results, @froeloefs shared the latest EHT results studying magnetism at the edge of the event horizon of #M87BlackHole with circular polarization. #URSIGASS2023
So happy this paper is finally out! @Noemi_La_Bella did a great job investigating the impact of the AMT when we observe Sagittarius A* with the EHT. It turns out it helps a lot when observing with our European partners and ALMA

We finally have the first look at our Milky Way black hole, Sagittarius A*. It’s the dawn of a new era of black hole physics. Credit: EHT Collaboration. #OurBlackHole#SgrABlackHole

We, at the Event Horizon Telescope, will be revealing groundbreaking Milky Way results on May 12, across multiple press conferences worldwide including at the @NSF and @ESO

Tonight we will start the EHT 2022 observing campaign, targeting our favorite black holes with 11 stations around the world! 📡🌍📡

The NSBP/SAO EHT Scholars Program is seeking undergrad/grad student applications for its 2022 cohort! The application deadline is April 1st, for an internship on black hole research starting in June 2022. Come join us!
@NSBPInc@saoastro@CenterForAstro
Looking for talented researchers for a postdoctoral fellowship in the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and next-generation EHT (ngEHT) projects. Software inclined astrophysicists encouraged to apply! https://t.co/DnDyiEYcxx
@SaraIssaoun@hfalcke Congratulations Dr. Sara! Very proud and glad to have been part of your extraordinary journey. We'll celebrate together in person soon!
Exciting times, our new NatAstro paper is out of embargo revealing the first @ehtelescope view of the nearest radio galaxy Centaurus A! We see 'hollow' looking jets launched by a #BlackHole! Led by then PhD student Michael Janssen, it's both impressive and super weird. [1/5]
Don't miss out this fantastic documentary by Peter Galison. It explores the struggles of the @ehtelescope to capture the iconic first image of a black hole. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at our collaboration & meet many of us👇

Two technical papers describing our Event Horizon Imager #EHI concept to image black holes from space (and how to fit a telescope larger than Earth into one Ariane 6 rocket @esa@Arianespace@AirbusSpace).

@AmandaMKramer@zackwiener@minutephysics I can play and write music but have very little poetic or singing talent, so I'll ask the singer of Blueshift ;) I agree we need a song about jets though, I don't think we have one yet!
