In Black Hole Chasers, award-winning investigative journalist Anna
Crowley Redding presents the riveting true story of one of the most
inspiring scientific breakthroughs of our lifetime--the Event Horizon
Telescope team's reveal of the first image of a super massive black
hole.
In April 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope Team unveiled the first
ever image of a super massive black hole.
This inspiring scientific breakthrough took years of hard work,
innovative thinking, and a level of global cooperation never seen
before. The challenge was immense. The goal was impossible. They would
need a telescope as big as the earth itself. The technology simply
didn't exist. And yet, a multi-national team of scientists was able to
show the world an image of something previously unseeable.
Based off extensive research and hours interviews with many of the
team's ground-breaking scientist, physicists, and mathematicians, Black
Hole Chasers is a story of unique technological innovation and
scientific breakthroughs, but more importantly, it's a story of human
curiosity and triumph.
