Building on the success of the original Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and the first black hole picture ever, the next generation EHT (ngEHT) will modernize existing instrumentation and expand the geographical footprint of the array with roughly 10 new dishes. The ngEHT will use the same technique of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) adopted by the EHT to unite the array of dishes spread across numerous continents into a single virtual telescope. Taking advantage of an additional observing frequency and modern high-speed data transfer protocols, data from this array will be used to form images and movies through advanced data processing algorithms. This cutting-edge technology will enable revolutionary science. The ngEHT will capture movies of black holes and better black hole pictures than ever before. It will test Einstein’s general theory of relativity at the event horizon, and uncover the nature of the magnetic field, the unseen force that shapes the surroundings of black holes. It will also discover the origin of black hole jets, the immense beams of particles that defy a black hole’s gravity. Avery Broderick is one of the key scientists driving this project forward.
