By capturing data at different wavelengths, future images will achieve significantly higher resolution.

The EHT is a global web link of various radio telescopes located at different points on Earth’s surface.

The pilot experiment was able to observe outer space with details as fine as 19 microarcseconds.

Astronomers make highest-resolution observations ever from Earth’s surface

With the full online grid of EHT telescopes, astronomers expect to achieve details as small as 13 microarcseconds.

This level of resolution would be comparable to spotting a bottle cap on the Moon from Earth.
