Sheperd Doeleman: The Event Horizon Telescope - From First Images of Black Holes to Real Time Video

Dr. Doeleman is an American astrophysicist, whose research focuses on studying super massive black holes with sufficient angular resolution to directly observe and resolve structures just outside a black hole's event horizon, where gravity is so strong that not even photons can escape. He led the international team of researchers that produced the first directly observed image of the shadow inside the photon radius of the black hole at the center of M87, the supergiant elliptical galaxy in the core region of the Virgo galaxy cluster. Dr. Doeleman now directs the international Event Horizon Telescope project, whose goal is to make movies of the structures around black hole event horizons. He and his team received the 2020 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics and he received this year's Henry Draper medal.
