DESCRIPTION:The next-generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT) is a trans
 formative upgrade to the EHT that will realize black hole “cinema”: re
 al-time and time-lapse movies of supermassive black holes on event horizon
  scales. These movies will resolve complex structure and dynamics on Schwa
 rzschild radius dimensions\, bringing into focus not just the persistent s
 trong-field gravity features predicted by General Relativity (GR)\, but de
 tails of active accretion and relativistic jet launching that drive large 
 scale structure in the Universe. This effort builds upon recent results by
  the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT): the first image of M87’s supermassiv
 e black hole and its magnetic field structure\, as well as resolved images
  of SgrA*\, the central black hole at the heart of the Milky Way. These im
 ages are scientifically rich\, and show that evolution of the EHT to a mor
 e capable array can address even deeper questions across physics and astro
 nomy. The central concept behind the ngEHT is that the addition of modest-
 diameter dishes at new geographic locations and multi-color observations o
 ver a range of frequencies will enable the next revolution in horizon-reso
 lved black hole studies.  This talk will cover the ngEHT technical plans a
 nd scientific goals.
