Hello Mastodon!

We’re the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) - a global network of telescopes working together to study black holes and other extreme cosmic phenomena.

In 2019, we captured the first image of a supermassive black hole (M87*), followed in 2022 by Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Follow @ehtelescope for scientific updates, behind-the-scenes looks at our worldwide collaboration, and the latest discoveries from the edge of space and time.

Thanks for being here ❤️

@ehtelescope

Welcome! Just noticed you! 😃

You might want to put your intro text in your profile as well, as that's often how people search for accounts to follow?

@ehtelescope Welcome to the #Fediverse where all the cool kids hang out! 😎👍
@ehtelescope Hey, welcome, & thanks for being here! A little #introduction hashtag will help you get more visibility. We're the algorithm around here :)

@ehtelescope Hooray! Welcome!

Are you here from Facebook or X? Because I thought nothing could escape black holes.

@SimonGroove
They Hawking-radiated out. That’s why it took so long.
