Pōwehi

From Hawaiian Pōwehi, from pōwehi, the generative darkness of creation, from the Hawaiian creation chant Kumulipo.

The Hawaiian name was chosen by Jessica Dempsey (James Clerk Maxwell Telescope observatory deputy director), Hawaiian language linguist Larry Kimura, and Geoffrey C. Bower (chief scientist of Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics division of Hawai’i).

“UH Hilo professor names black hole capturing world's attention”, in University of Hawaiʻi News, 2019 April 10, retrieved 2020-03-19: “In April 2017, a groundbreaking observational campaign brought together eight telescopes at six locations around the globe to capture an image of Pōwehi, a supermassive black hole at the center of the Messier 87 galaxy.”

“Maunakea telescopes win the 'Oscars of Science' for Pōwehi”, in University of Hawaiʻi News, 2019 September 6, retrieved 2020-03-19: “Working together as one ʻohana was critical to our success in capturing the image of Pōwehi.”

2020, Jessica T. Dempsey, "The Event Horizon Telescope: the impact of an image and finding Pōwehi", in Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes VIII

The most important thing that we have learned is that the shadow of Pōwehi is always there. That means it is real and is caused by the light bending from the black hole. […] The wobble tells us about how gas is flowing around the black hole, varying like clouds in the sky or waves on the ocean. What's next is to use our improved array and make images over years to come and learn from those changes to answer questions like, 'How does Pōwehi feed itself?'
