Recently after showing off the first picture of the black hole in the center of our galaxy, the Event Horizon Telescope proved that it’s ready to take its next steps by capturing images of fuel constantly flowing onto a black hole.

The two black hole photographs from the Event Horizon Telescope that was produced to date within the Milky Way and that of the black hole in the center of the galaxy M87 are snapped in time. Black holes are rigorously churning fuel orbits around their floor or occasion horizon; however, photographs do not show off these churns.

So scientists started to dream of films that were produced by repeatedly picturing the black holes over months and years. Researchers hope such films will show the evolution of black hole disks as fuel rigorously flows onto them and the way the magnetic fields inside the disk get converted into tangled and wound up as they’re pulled across the black holes.

Michael Johnson mentioned throughout the NSF information convention that “Our next step will be to make polarized images of Sagittarius A*, so that we can see the magnetic fields near the black hole and see how they’re dragged [around] by the black hole itself,” He is an astrophysicist on the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

One more step will sharpen the EHT’s perspective of black holes. Seven observatories combined to picture M87’s black hole; with the addition of the South Pole Telescope, a total of eight observatories took part in imaging Sagittarius A*.

The Event Horizon Telescope works based on Very Long Baseline Interferometry, a method that combines telescopes. The distance between the telescopes, which scientists call the ‘baseline,’ is the same as the aperture of a traditional telescope.
