Tue, 16 Jul 2024 - 20min - 1682 - [Interview] Observing Black Holes With Just One Telescope
Previously the only way to image black holes was with the Event Horizon Telescope, a combination of many radio telescopes across the globe. It is complicated and time-consuming. But with Vera Rubin going online soon, there might be a simpler way to observe black holes with a single telescope using a really clever method.
