Making sense of the nonsensical: Black holes and the simulation library May 12, 2022 Snapping an image of a black hole is just the beginning, says researcher Chi-Kwan "CK" Chan. To really understand the image, it must be compared with black hole simulations. UArizona worked with partners to create the world's largest simulation library. Read more Image
Black hole scientist: 'Wherever we look, we should see donuts' May 12, 2022 UArizona astrophysicists Feryal Özel and Dimitrios Psaltis identified Sagittarius A* as an ideal target black hole more than 20 years ago. They call it a "Goldilocks black hole," with an environment "just right" for capturing an image. Read more Image
UArizona astronomers lead efforts that reveal the black hole at the heart of our galaxy May 12, 2022 After years of anticipation, the international Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration presented the first image of the black hole located at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy, called Sagittarius A*. Scientists had previously suggested the presence of a black hole at this location, but there was no direct visual evidence until now. Read more Image
