The Haystack 37m Telescope, a pivotal instrument in radio astronomy located at MIT Haystack Observatory in Westford, Massachusetts, has returned to forefront astrophysical research following extensive upgrades. Originally operational since 1964, the telescope has played crucial roles in various missions, including supporting NASA's Apollo landings and mapping Venus. Recently, on December 8, 2025, it observed the supermassive black hole system at the center of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87), utilizing very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) to achieve remarkable resolution. This observation focused on the energetic jet emitted from M87’s central black hole, which is six-and-a-half billion times the mass of the sun. The telescope's upgrades, supported by the National Science Foundation and private donors, have enhanced its capabilities, allowing for new lines of research, such as asteroid characterization and the search for complex organic molecules in space. Additionally, the involvement of undergraduate interns in the telescope's operations exemplifies its role in training the next generation of astronomers. With ongoing efforts to secure further funding, the Haystack 37m Telescope is poised to contribute significantly to our understanding of the universe in the coming years.
