Think Space: How do you take an image of a supermassive black hole?

We’ve invited astrophysicists to talk about the cutting-edge research taking place in their fields of research and to answer some big questions in astronomy and space science.

In this lecture, Dr Ziri Younsi (Mullard Space Science Laboratory, UCL) explains how he and his colleagues in the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration took the first images of supermassive black holes.
