The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a telescope array consisting of a global network of radio telescopes.The EHT project combines data from several very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) stations around Earth, which form a combined array with an angular resolution sufficient to observe objects the size of a supermassive black hole's event horizon.
Katherine Louise Bouman (/ ˈ b aʊ m ə n /; [1] born 1989) is an American engineer and computer scientist working in the field of computational imaging.She led the development of an algorithm for imaging black holes, known as Continuous High-resolution Image Reconstruction using Patch priors (CHIRP), and was a member of the Event Horizon Telescope team that captured the first image of a ...
