About

EU-funded scientists have contributed to a major astronomical discovery: the capturing of the first ever image of a black hole. The discovery is the result of an international science collaboration called Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) that linked several observatories across the globe and some 200 researchers in Europe, the US and East Asia. A grant from the European Research Council allowed three European scientists to play a key role in this discovery: Professors Heino Falcke, Professor of Astroparticle Physics and Radio Astronomy at the Radboud University Nijmegen, Luciano Rezzolla, Director at the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP) of the Goethe University of Frankfurt, Michael Kramer, Director at the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie (MPIfR) in Bonn.
