Look quick - one will be visible at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. for another few hours...maybe two.

Oh, how I remember with great fondness those summer evenings in our back yard when Pop and I gazed up into the sky.

“Look, Dad! There’s a Black Hole!”

“You idiot. Your cap fell down over your eyes again. Go get me another beer.”

Good article.

But the most ambitious project focused on the galactic center is the Event Horizon Telescope, an enormous interferometer made from a dozen observatories stretching from Hawaii to the South Pole. The goal, when it comes online this spring, is to capture an image of Sgr A* with enough resolution to see the event horizon itself.

If they verify the event horizon, it's definitely a black hole.

I did the same project for far less money using a homemade telescope and my iPhone.
