    About this Episode

    (下面的連結也包括中文版的!) Satoki Matsushita is an astrophysicist (天體物理學家) studying black holes (黑洞), and a research fellow at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics here in Taiwan. ICRT's Trevor Tortomasi chats with Satoki about how we turned Earth into a giant telescope, to take a picture of Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of our galaxy. We also chat about what we've learned from the image, what's next for telescope technology, and the future of science education in Taiwan. 2022年的黑洞畫面: You can see the image of Sagittarius A* here: https://www.sinica.edu.tw/ch/news/7177 2019的黑洞畫面: And you can see humanity's first image of a black hole, M87, here: https://www.sinica.edu.tw/ch/news/6191 Both links should also have English versions available! 這裡也可以看中文版的黑洞科學解釋: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQB_-kT6obo Thanks for listening!
