SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on the calculations of the spin of the black hole Sagittarius A* and the potential contributions of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) to this research. Participants express curiosity about the time resolution capabilities of the EHT and its ability to provide resolved observations of the accretion disk. A user discovered that the equations related to the topic became readable by clicking on a tutorial icon, which was initially unreadable in the Insight text. This highlights the importance of accessible educational resources in understanding complex astrophysical concepts.
