Who is Event Horizon Telescope?

The Event Horizon Telescope is like a super team of scientists using cameras all around the world to take pictures of something really far away.

Imagine you're trying to take a photo of a tiny bug on the other side of the planet. If you just use one camera, the picture might be blurry or not very clear. But if you have lots of friends with cameras all over the world, and everyone takes a picture at the same time, you can put those pictures together like pieces of a puzzle to get a much clearer photo.

That’s what the Event Horizon Telescope does, it uses many telescopes in different places on Earth to take photos of something super far away called a black hole. A black hole is like a cosmic vacuum cleaner that pulls everything in, even light!

Each telescope acts like a camera, and all those cameras work together, kind of like a giant, global photo booth. Scientists then use special computers to combine the pictures from each telescope and make one amazing image, helping us see things we’ve never seen before!
