EHT plans to capture black hole motion

Scientists from the Event Horizon Telescope project plan to, for the first time in observational history, capture the motion of a black hole at the center of the galaxy M87. The black hole's mass is about 6 billion solar masses; its subtle movement allows telescopes to record several consecutive images. Filming is scheduled for March–April 2026.

Context

In 2019, the EHT project published the first photograph of a black hole in the galaxy M87.
