basically telescopes all over the world are acting as one to face the center of our milky way galaxy to try to take a picture of our supermassive black hole. now, if all goes according to plan, we should get data by the end of this year. the telescope will run for several days observing at different frequencies. i hope this works out, itll be YUGE like the gravity waves phenomena from a while back

So this will be the first actual picture of a blackhole maybe?

Wow really? But I mean... how do you take a picture of something that has no light to it?

Different things like radio waves or something?

Pardon the ignorance.

How can you put something all around a flat surface though?

You still haven't shown me why the earth is round as you keep claiming naru, i'm waiting.

Signature goes here.
Precisely. There are a variety of methods they can actually use. They plan on using radio waves but they theoretically could also use anything that picks up radiation since Black Holes emit that as they dissipate.

its pretty complex stuff, im not a pro astronomer, but a cool thing about radio telescopes is that they can be very huge in regards to aperture. im sure youre familiar with the VLA. a bunch of telescopes in the desert that expand and contract when moving on railways. anyways, with radio telescopes, their apertures can increase without anything being in between them, like a mirror in most traditional telescopes. so we're essentially using an earth sized radio telescope to view into the milky way.

its super complex, but the radiowaves can help a lot since theyre the easiest to work with than things like hubble or stuff.

Pardon the ignorance.

A lot of telescopes also look out for different frequencies of light - gamma, xray,infrared etc.

Plus, in terms of visuals, you'd be able to see a black hole due to gravitational lensing - the pull of gravity around one is so strong it physically affects and warps space. As such, if you were to fly past one you'd see the light behind it (so, dust clouds, stars, etc in the distance) warping and changing as it bends to go around the event horizon.

Also, Black Holes that are actively "feeding" will have rings around them (like Gargantua in Interstellar). These rings are dust, particles, matter, gas and so forth that fornerly made up all kinds of objects being ripped apart and accelerated to relavtavistic velocities. As the dust hits other bits of dust, a lot of friction is generated and thus a fuck ton of heat and light.

Good gravitational lensing video below.
YouTube


However, from the distance we are to Sag A*, there's simply too much dust, light and distance to really get a good picture of the gravitational lensing. The best we get is looking at radiation emitted and the orbits of stars around the galactic core.

Have you seen the video of Carl Sagan talking about the Greeks predicting the circumference of Earth in 280 BC? I realize you don't need to learn about it but the video is worth the watch nonetheless.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

We came from the earth, the earth is made of water and rock. Water and rock makes mud (dirt). People are made out of dirt.

also, they predict we'll see the ring around it, so it'll be a blob in the center while the surrounding area is dust and such

naru i posted in here 3 days ago and you still haven't told me why the earth is '''''''''''''''''''''round''''''''''''''''''''''

i am tempted to conclude that it is indeed flat and you have been lying all along

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

im more of a fan of saturns poles. the gas giants are really spectacular in the sense of how mysterious they are.

I love the hexagons on saturn's poles.

In general that planetary system has a lot of mysterious shit going on.
