Other targets in the future could include star-forming regions in the Galaxy ... so they might start to look at jets and dust/gas inflow and outflows in such regions
TomK,
This may be different from your comment about jets and gas in/outflows as it doesn't mention star formations, but it's another impressive photo of Powehi (M87), zoomed out, showing a larger area with high energy particle jets:
... view the full length of the jet of high-energy particles launched by the intense gravitational and magnetic fields around the black hole.

I found my earlier question about other projects which the Event Horizon team might study addressed in this article:
Black hole picture could unlock new era in astronomy
The Event Horizon Telescope will be a godsend for many other kinds of astronomical observations beyond black holes.
“The resolving power of the telescope is just astonishing... They are eager to exploit that power to watch infant planets forming around other stars or to observe delicate structures in distant galaxies.
The possibilities are almost endless.

And here we are, on the precipice of history. Look up, we on the Big Island live within sight of Mauna Kea and her observatories, key components in the Event Horizon collaboration. Incredible.
