Radio telescopes are sophisticated instruments that allow astronomers to explore the universe in the radio spectrum. Unlike optical telescopes that collect visible light, radio telescopes capture radio waves emitted by celestial objects. This capability is crucial for studying astronomical phenomena that are invisible in the optical range, such as pulsars, quasars, and cosmic microwave background […]
From Black Holes to Balloons Thanks for listening! I hope you enjoyed and learned something new today!

VLBI stands for Very Long Baseline Interferometry, and it is a technique that astronomers use to observe the universe with incredible detail. The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a network of radio telescopes, uses VLBI to capture images of black hole shadows. In this article, we will discuss VLBI and how it works, the EHT and
What is VLBI? how does EHT image black hole shadows? Read More »
