Is Einstein always right?
I have already seen, in the halo series, Ringworld Larry Niven :D
It is a pity that you can not take a photo of the black hole that is in our galaxy.
Trees cover the forest, the stars cover the center of the galaxy

Maybe with an improved system they will be able to discriminate it... We'll see! :D

There is another one photo in NASA instagram:

I'd show you a black hole, but no-one would live to see it.
I'm calling bullshit.

It's good that theories are proven right, we'd have to rewrite more scientific books otherwise, and it might have ruined some movie scenes.

The first photo of a black hole I recall was Goatse.
(Know your memes, dont google it)

Sorry, I had to Google it. And I felt better before XD

"This black hole resides 55 million light-years from Earth and has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun."
Scary!

In the whole scheme of thing really insignificant indeed.

Yeah, a quick attack that would take just 55 million years (at least) to get there :D

She? Processing images taken by space telescopes takes years.

"If immersed in a bright region, like a disc of glowing gas, we expect a black hole to create a dark region similar to a shadow — something predicted by Einstein’s general relativity that we’ve never seen before,"
Still amazed by this guy's brain and vision, just as much as by the technology bringing us to photographic evidence of his theories. A whole century later.

Also, if this turns out to be a spoiler about Avengers Endgame, you're going to be in real trouble!

Great research! Great achievements!🎉 🌌
However, familiar fear ....
The fear of the universe has been exceeded.
I'm scared of being sucked into my little sister's stomach.
Authority of appetite = black hole＠
That's exactly what it is.

Yeah that's pretty cool, i just read about it earlier today on another site.
Good thing is, it's faaaaaar away from earth, so nothing to worry about. 😉

what if we are already in another super giant black hole :)

or what if stars and galaxies are just like elementary particles and cosmic web of the universe is just Neural circuit in someone`s brain....

that's a possibility! but i think still mine is more possible:)

Rahhh, it makes ultraviolets on the dopper. So it comes to us....
No, just kidding. That's awesome. I hope to see the one on the milky way ;)

Not sure if it has been posted already here, did not read all comments.

Interesting! I don't think anyone posted this (even if I remember some words spent on the resolution), also because probably you're the only one out here at ease with arcseconds, Opp :P
Thank you!

So... Today the photograph of the century was revealed. The Event Horizon Telescope shot the first ever photo of a Black Hole!
The subject: the Bh at the heart of the Messier 87 galaxy, 55 million light years from Earth!
The technique: a network of eight radio telescopes spanning locations from Antarctica to Spain and Chile, whose data was interpolated through the interferometric technique, becoming - from a certain point of view - a singular telescope of the dimension of the Earth!
This is a great period for experimental astrophysics.

A couple of Space-themed GAs, here. Not as Epic as the BH... But that's what I found in the sofa. Maybe something better will come.
