Sharpest ground observations ever ESO Chasing Starlight 2024-08-27 | Scientists have just made the highest-resolution observations yet from the surface of the Earth.In this episode of Chasing Starlight, ESO astronomer Suzanna Randall reveals how a pilot experiment using telescopes that are part of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration was able to obtain the highest-resolution observations ever made from the ground. Thanks to these test observations, the EHT Collaboration estimates that, in the future, they will be able to make black hole images 50% more detailed than was possible before.For more details, check: eso.org/public/news/eso241100:00 Introduction01:00 How can we ‘see’ black holes with a telescope?02:09 How does a virtual telescope like the EHT work?03:44 What are the challenges with virtual telescopes?04:27 How can we obtain better images without going to space?Discover more from ESO: Learn the gist of the latest discoveries and updates from ESO: youtu.be/DutMRUEahb8?si=__Y0_RttOrVayRiQDiscover the telescope that will makes us rethink our place in the cosmos: youtu.be/WnOCPyqaQr0?si=SxrFFswXHr32Iu7U Enjoy breathtaking views of astronomical objects: youtu.be/n5542if4HfE?si=1vNfKlqYAHMNA9LO Travel to the location of astronomical objects on the night sky: youtu.be/7BwcOj_hFZg?si=NI14vpcShPIWToiVCredit: ESO Directed by: L.
