The lecture beg ins at 6:15 PM sharp in the Leacock Building\, room 132! The talk will als o be live streamed\, and we will try to take some questions from the onlin e audience - the stream will appear on the AstroɬÀï·¬ Facebook page when it starts.\n\nAbstract: The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is an array of r adio telescopes that can resolve the event horizons of the nearest superma ssive black holes. EHT detects light that originate from gas that is close to the event horizon of a black hole\, and this light travels unimpeded t o telescopes on the Earth. The primary goal of the EHT is to resolve and i mage the predicted ring of light that orbit black holes due to the strong gravitational pull. After 1.5 years of data reduction and analysis\, we re port success: we have imaged a black hole! This talk will cover the projec t and first results as well as some future directions.\n\nShare this event with your friends and family: https://www.facebook.com/events/40998234621 7598/\n DTSTART:20190501T221500Z DTEND:20190501T234500Z LOCATION:Room 132\, Leacock Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2T7\, 855 r ue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Public AstroNight: The Event Horizon Telescope: Seeing the Unseeabl e URL:/science/channels/event/public-astronight-event-ho rizon-telescope-seeing-unseeable-296525 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
