Wow, realizing how far away this is (many millions of light years), it is astonishing that it is possible to make a picture of it. This image is thousands and thousands of times more detailed than any other photo ever taken before. Unbelievable that a blurry black/orange photo is already one of the iconic images in the history of astronomy. And besides the fact that we get an idea of what it looks like, the basic fact that there is a photo of black hole may even be more important. For decades people have talked about black holes and certain measurements seemed to indicate that an object like a black hole should be present, but never has there been a direct image taken of a black hole. Basically, there was never any definitive proof that black holes as current theories describe them, even exist. Now there is. Not only proving the existence of black holes, but it's also once again an extremely strong argument in favor of the current theory of relativity as this image is exactly what relativity would expect a black hole to look like. Einstein's genius only becomes more impressive over the years.

so incredibly exciting. and a real testament to what humans can do when they cooperate internationaly. (as they should on most things, its about time we all started to think and act as Earthlings, not citizens of particular countries).

That's impossible. No light can escape a black hole. Taking a picture of it would be like trying to enter the "other world" that you see in a mirror. well apparently we're getting one says scientist so strap onto your boots there incel I was confused about the incel remark until I read the controversy behind this. Holy Christ, people are pathetic and stupid. Instead of inventing insane conspiracies to put successful women down, invest 5 minutes into a dating profile. Damn.
