Black hole image even sharper thanks to Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration | CBC Kids News

The team of international scientists that released it, called the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration, includes a Canadian researcher based at the The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo.
