Today we are speaking with Dr Daniel Palumbo,  from the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Daniel is an astrophysicist and data scientist with the Event Horizon Telescope who worked on those amazing black hole images using data from the planet-sized telescope, the EHT, the Event Horizon Telescope.  

He is involved in ongoing work on the Next Generation EHT  consortium

In this episode he shares his science journey, how the EHT works and how he worked with the imaging teams to produce those two historic and stunning black hole images from our Milky Way Galactic Center, Sagittarius A* and the more distant supermassive black hole in Messier 87*

Brilliant science beautifully explained.

Thanks Daniel !!
