And the full
telescope
will be finished in the middle of the next decade, with all seven mirrors.
But
telescope
ahead to the age of modern animal husbandry, and you'll see four: turkeys, ducks, chicken and geese.
Then, Galileo's
telescope
caught Jupiter's moons orbiting around Jupiter, totally ignoring Earth.
We wrote a proposal to observe the star with the world's largest radio
telescope
at the Green Bank Observatory.
I'm part of a team of scientists that use NASA's NEOWISE
telescope.
But the system's actually named after Kepler, discovered by the Kepler space
telescope.
So, the SETI Institute, with a little bit of help from me, and a lot of help from Paul Allen and a variety of other people, is building a dedicated radio
telescope
in Hat Creek, California, so they can do this SETI work.
Getting this first picture will come down to an international team of scientists, an Earth-sized
telescope
and an algorithm that puts together the final picture.
This governing equation says that in order to see smaller and smaller, we need to make our
telescope
bigger and bigger.
So how big of a
telescope
do we need in order to see an orange on the surface of the moon and, by extension, our black hole?
Well, it turns out that by crunching the numbers, you can easily calculate that we would need a
telescope
the size of the entire Earth.
If we could build this Earth-sized telescope, we could just start to make out that distinctive ring of light indicative of the black hole's event horizon.
However, as you can imagine, building a single-dish
telescope
the size of the Earth is impossible.
And by connecting telescopes from around the world, an international collaboration called the Event Horizon
Telescope
is creating a computational
telescope
the size of the Earth, capable of resolving structure on the scale of a black hole's event horizon.
Each
telescope
in the worldwide network works together.
Remember if we want to see the black hole in the center of our galaxy, we need to build this impossibly large Earth-sized
telescope?
For just a second, let's pretend we could build a
telescope
the size of the Earth.
But although we only collect light at a few
telescope
locations, as the Earth rotates, we get to see other new measurements.
However, we only see a few samples, and for that reason, there are an infinite number of possible images that are perfectly consistent with our
telescope
measurements.
And so, my role in helping to take the first image of a black hole is to design algorithms that find the most reasonable image that also fits the
telescope
measurements.
Just as a forensic sketch artist uses limited descriptions to piece together a picture using their knowledge of face structure, the imaging algorithms I develop use our limited
telescope
data to guide us to a picture that also looks like stuff in our universe.
Since there are an infinite number of possible images that perfectly explain our
telescope
measurements, we have to choose between them in some way.
And we use commonly seen puzzle pieces to piece together an image that also fits our
telescope
measurements.
I can just use a very powerful
telescope
and just look at the sky, no problem.
It's flat, it's dry, and most importantly, it's radio quiet: no mobile phones, no Wi-Fi, nothing, just very, very radio quiet, so a perfect place to build a radio
telescope.
Now, the
telescope
that I've been working on for a few years is called the Murchison Widefield Array, and I'm going to show you a little time lapse of it being built.
We call them the Student Army, and they volunteered their time to build a radio
telescope.
The final
telescope
covers 10 square kilometers of the Western Australian desert.
And it's the size of this telescope, the fact that we've built it over the entire desert that gives us a better resolution than Parkes.
And with this telescope, with this data, we've performed a survey of the entire southern sky, the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA Survey, or GLEAM, as I call it.
