Today (May 12, 2022) at 9:00 a.m. EDT (6:00 a.m. PDT, 15:00 CEST) The European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) task will hold an interview to provide new Milky Way results from the EHT.
EHT Project Director Huib Jan van Langevelde and EHT Collaboration Board Founding Chair Anton Zensus will likewise deliver remarks. A panel of EHT researchers will explain the outcome and response concerns.

You can view it reside in the YouTube live stream embedded below:

Following journalism conference, ESO will host an online occasion for the general public on its YouTube channel: a live concern and response session where members of the general public will have the opportunity to query another panel of EHT experts. This panel will be made up of:

This YouTube occasion will start at 10:30 a.m. EDT (7:30 a.m. PDT, 16:30 CEST) and last for roughly one hour.

. The announcement has actually been a carefully secured secret, although many speculation centers around a statement related to imaging of Sagittarius A *, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. This is because the last significant announcement from the Event Horizon Telescope task was 3 years earlier when they released the first-ever image of a black hole and its shadow (see above image.).
