Where is the Event Horizon Telescope spread across the world?
Quick Answer
The Event Horizon Telescope is not in one place; it is a network of radio observatories on multiple continents. Together they form an Earth-sized virtual telescope.
The Full Story
The Event Horizon Telescope, or EHT, combines radio telescopes located across the globe, including sites in North America, South America, Europe, Antarctica, and elsewhere. By linking them with very long baseline interferometry, astronomers create a telescope with a resolution comparable to the size of Earth. This method allowed the collaboration to image the black hole in M87 and later Sagittarius A*. The project shows how planet-wide cooperation can create an extraordinary scientific instrument.
