Shanghai telescope honored for black hole assistance, other work
Tianma, a radio telescope in Shanghai that has made contributions to the field of astronomy, won the top prize at the 2018 Shanghai Science and Technology Awards.
日前,多次對世界天文事業做出關鍵貢獻的上海射電望遠鏡「天馬」獲得2018年上海市科技進步特等獎。
The telescope participated in long-term observations to confirm data from the first image of a black hole in deep space.
今年4月,全球首張黑洞M87影像對外公布,天馬望遠鏡參與了其中部分協同觀測任務。
While Tianma was not directly involved in the black hole observations that created the image, its ability to see other phenomena in the universe contributed to the precise calibration of the final data for the image, said scientists in Shanghai. (China Daily)
中國天文學家表示,雖然天馬望遠鏡沒有直接參與創建黑洞的觀測圖像,但是它對宇宙中其他現象的觀測為最終精確校準黑洞圖像的數據提供了參考。
