Welcome to today's press conference brought to you

I am the head of the National Science Foundation's

Office of Legislative and Public Affairs.

I would like to introduce today's distinguished panel.

Dr. France Cordova, Director of the National Science Foundation.

is the Event Horizon Telescope Project Director

of the Center for Astrophysics, Harvard and Smithsonian.

Dan Marrone is an Event Horizon Telescope

Avery Broderick is a member of the Event Horizon Telescope

Board and Wheeler Chair of Theoretical Physics

at the Perimeter Institute and Associate Professor

at the University of Waterloo. And Sera Markoff is a member

and she coordinates the EHT multi-wavelength workshop.

We will have time for questions after the panel concludes

so please hold all questions until that time.

Thank you for joining us at this historic moment.

the current chair, Diane Souvaine and former chair,

Today, the Event Horizon Telescope Project

will announce findings that will transform

and enhance our understanding of black holes.

As an astrophysicist, this is a thrilling day for me.

Black holes have captivated the imaginations of scientists

In fact, we have been studying black holes so long,

Yes, we have simulations and illustrations.

supported by the National Science Foundation,

We have observed the episodic transfer of matter

Some massive black holes create jets of particles and radiation.

those jets can fling across billions of light-years.

But we have never actually seen the event horizon,

that point of no return after which nothing,

Through the imagination and dedication of scientists

Through a large pool of international facilities,

and through long-term financial commitments from NSF

and pursuits of an enormous potential payoff.

Without international collaboration among facilities,

the contributions of dozens of scientists and engineers

the event horizon project would have been impossible.

No single telescope on earth has the sharpness to create

an un-blurred definitive image of a black hole's event horizon.

So this team did what all good researchers do, they innovated.

other NSF funded researchers helped lead the development

computationally to increase their capabilities.

This team took that concept to a global scale.

Connecting telescopes to create a virtual array,

the size of the Earth itself. This was a Herculean task,

one that involved overcoming numerous technical difficulties.

joined by many other organizations in our support,

as these researchers shaped their idea into reality.

will demonstrate an imprint on people's memories.

The event horizon project shows the power of collaboration,

allowing us to tackle the universes biggest mysteries.

Now I'm going to hand over this to our distinguished panel

starting with Dr. Shep Doeleman, EHT's Director.

Dr. Sheperd Doeleman:  Thank you assembled guests,

Black holes are the most mysterious objects
