The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration observed the supermassive black hole at the center of M87, finding the dark central shadow in accordance with General Relativity, further demonstrating the power of this 100 year-old theory.
To understand more about why the shadows look the way they do, check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUyH3XhpLTo
I will continue updating this description with more links.

lolol that’s a solar eclipse dummy!!!!! only a gullible generation would believe this
you are showing cgi lololol buddy the hubble never received colored images lololol
Butttt here comes the most interesting question that if the black hole is 54 Million light years far from us and light speed in space is 300,000km/s….then does that black hole still exists? Where it is now???
Because it would have taken a hell lot time for light to reach the satellite and the time is:-1692000000000000 seconds which is equal to 470000000000 hours
Which is approximately 20000000000 days which is54,794,520.548years!!!!!!!!!
That means the photo is that much year old
The crazy part is the light we seeing is from 1000s of years ago before it even reached us
They forgot to focus
Our life is so short and fragile. It makes me sad whenever I think about it. But to be even be alive is a blessing .
i wish mnecraft have space
Same image was shown in Interstellar movie
You wanna learn more and see beyond the stars and black holes, Open the Holy ' Bible and Quran " and you will explore much more .
All these objects BILLIONS of light years distances away including all these universes were created within 6 working days.
I can read and learn much more than this information within seconds while reading the Holy Bible and Quran in details
VFX team of Interstellar really nailed the look of a black hole

need to send Putin there.
Technically the black hole isn’t really there because we’re seeing 50 million years back in time. At the very moment what the black hole is doing to our galaxy is a complete mystery that’ll be solved in this very moment but 50 million years later. In other words, everything’s a lie.
The people who complained about it being blurry are so retarded. This is an image taken down to microarcseconds. Just a few millionths of one degree. 1 arcsecond Is the equivelent to an object a few hundred meters away being about 1 millimeter wide. So one microarcsecond is 1 millionth of that. This object is incredibly tiny compared to the mass. It is about 120 arc units wide. Considering the distance that is very hard to resolve. Given we can now resolve the arctic disc in reasonable detail too is astonishing. Any other telescope would resolve the collective light, but only one can separate the black hole from the accretion disc.
i did m87 for my science project
We need a 100x better telescope so we can watch it in 4K.
So black hole is basically a glazed donut.
this is was mentioned in QURAN before 1400 year ago
I can see rings gas a black hole
I love physics and astronomy ♥️
so the interstellar is pretty accurate….
Bro I was just out the shower tf yous taking pics for?
i guess AI can also how does black hole actually looks like
You should post more about space stuff
Props to the cameraman who went to space to take a picture!
Does it still exists??? Coz the pic is 50 million years old ….or even more
So if the earth is round how did you photograph this..??
Ok nasa go into the black hole and send a drone in…see if you don't get fucked up…cant what for this to happen…
Actually we are under a black hole, and the black hole is a road to see the ultimate universe and ultimate gravity…
He will see in heaven ☺️

Since the photo is blurry because it is so far away from us, would that mean the photos of our galaxy’s black hole be a lot sharper and clearer?
Blurry shot of a Krispy Kreme donut sitting on a black table.
There is no god but Allah creator of best creation universe and living creatures
It is good that you are appreciating the scientists for this amazing work but they only discovered it .. right??.. what about tha one who created it?
bl4ck h0l3 = a$$ hole
This isn't an image of anything lol.
What is the thickness of the Black Hole? Is it flat? Or it has some kind of tunnel like way???
In 11 Hours From When Im Making This Comment. On May 12 A New Picture Of The Milky Way Galaxy Black Hole!
I am just SO blown away with the achievement. It sounds so impossible to have done, yet mankind did it. I think this is as monumental a feet as the moon landing and far more difficult.
I cannot wait any longer for the Milky Way Galaxy Black Hole today. Mark my comment
Congratulations to the EHT for the second black hole image! 😀
