Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize & Dr. Daniel Cunnama. We were fortunate to speak with two scientists involved with the project Dr. Roger Deane, Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Pretoria and Dr. Rhodri Evans a senior lecturer in physics & astrophysics at the University of Namibia. Roger spoke to us via Skype from Brussels where he was for the announcement and explained the exciting result and Africa’s involvement in the project. Rhodri spoke with us before the announcement at the recent Astronomy in Africa conference about plans to build a telescope in Namibia to join the EHT Network.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.
