This week we are celebrating #BlackHoleWeek! To kick the week off, check out this Black Hole Q&A session from 2020 when some experts took their time "Shedding Light on Pōwehi". buff.ly/3dOr946

In honor of #BlackHoleWeek - the EAO will be featuring a booth full of fun Black Hole related activities this weekend at AstroDay! Come visit us at the Prince Kuhio Plaza in Hilo this Saturday from 10am - 4pm and let's talk Black Holes!

A schematic view of the Horsehead Nebula. The starless core (the "lump" in the throat is shown as a yellow ellipse. The red lines show magnetic field lines within the "lump" and at the top of the #Horsehead nebula (the "mane") as detected by #JCMT. More: buff.ly/3Vzg2Cy

Have you seen this AI image makeover of Pōwehi? What do you think of it? Using advanced modeling of EHT images could help better understand the characteristics of supermassive black holes. #BlackHoleWeek buff.ly/41SSQBz

#BlackHoleWeek has been a blast and we can't wait to talk about Black Holes tomorrow at AstroDay from 10am - 4pm. If you can't join us tomorrow, feel free to download this Pōwehi activity sheet that you can do at home! Full res activity sheet: buff.ly/40Xj9oQ

Mahalo to all for coming out to AstroDay yesterday! Our staff had a great time meeting so many junior scientists and future black hole hunters! Great questions and conversations with all who stopped by our booth! A hui hou!

In 2020 the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics was awarded to the EHT Collaboration. Each award winner recently received a special certificate. Pictured: Retired Telescope System Specialist Jim Hoge, as well as Director Paul Ho presenting the certificate to Mark Rawlings.

The EAO and JCMT boards met last month on Hawaiʻi Island to a full itinerary of presentations and activities - including a visit to the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope at the summit of Maunakea.

🌌 Since the #JCMT operates in submillimeter wavelengths, we don’t mind at all that it’s the longest day of the year because we can observe with the Sun up! 🌞 Happy #SummerSolstice! 🌎 ☀️🍂❄️💦

#InTheNews: "JCMT’s latest detections of phosphine from Feb 2022 and May 2023 are significant because they hugely extend the scope of the initial study. They also suggest that there’s a steady source of phosphine either in or below the clouds of Venus." buff.ly/44kfdRq

🌺 Happy Aloha Friday everyone! Have a great weekend! 🌴 Image: Staff meeting photo taken on July 13th, 2023.

The calm before the storm! 🌬 As the Big Island prepares for the arrival of Tropical Storm Calvin, the JCMT is busy taking preventative measures to keep the staff and facility safe!

Introducing the EAO James Clerk Maxwell Telescope's Software Engineer Akil Marshall! #EAO #JCMT #maunakeaobservatories #astronomyhawaii

#flashbackfriday to mid-August when JCMT staff were interviewed for "The Borderless World", an award-winning program from one of the leading broadcasting companies in Taiwan, SETTV. Pictured are Dan Bintley and Kuan-Yu Liu alongside Mr. Po Chi Liu and Correspondent Marcos Shiang.

Having a blast 💥 🚀 at AstroDay in Kona! We're here talking Black Holes until 3pm today at the Kona Commons Shopping Center!
