For the first time, an image of a black hole has been unveiled by the Event Horizon Telescope, but it’s not what you might think. Here’s why. #BlackHole
It’s our first glimpse of one of the weirdest spectacles in the universe. Astronomers on Wednesday released humanity’s first-ever image of a black hole.
The picture reveals the black hole at the center of Messier 87, a massive galaxy in the nearby Virgo galaxy cluster.
“We have taken the first picture of a black hole,” said Event Project Horizon project director Sheperd S. Doeleman of the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian. “This is an extraordinary scientific feat accomplished by a team of more than 200 researchers.”
Images came from the Event Horizon Telescope, a collection of telescopes around the world specifically designed to peer at black holes. The telescopes are in Chile, Hawaii, Arizona, Mexico, Spain and at the South Pole.

U did NOT explain the picture of black hole, why it looks that way, what exactly is the black part (x2.6 times event horizon actually), why the ring is brighter on the south side, why the ring is almost symmetrical, etc. BAD VIDEO

You are making science of of a meme,
That's mad disrespectful to be calling in a black hoe smh..
Well if nothing could get out of the closet then black holes are the least gay thing in this universe
HOGWASH!!!!!
At last!! We have found the entrance to hell. Nothing can escape from this black hole…not even light! The devil resides at the bottom of the black hole. All those souls that have gone to hell are also at the bottom of the black hole for all eternity…no escape as you can see.

Wait till they find out that the black hole is actually donut shape it doesn't really spit out everything that sucks into it. It's just circulates sort of like a smoke ring.
Nipsey Hussle caused this
lol… what a load of CGI crap! Black holes and Gravity waves! Globers are desperate to keep the lie going!
Me after having Taco Bell
funny; that looks JUST like the 2010, 2011 and 2012 pics of the alleged PLANET X… Black hole my ass. this is that incoming PLANET ! That is not a black hole!!!!
I thought my phone was glitching in the beginning because i thought it was loading but playing at the same time
lol i bet someone already took a picture of the sky before
The explanation presented in this video seems off.
This was about as stupid of an explanation as I expected from USA Today.
😂🤣 Looks like it was made in Microsoft paint. Peoplebelieve anything these days 😂
I think that Edge of universe. But look like there another way exit another unverise but it can be paradox I don't think time traveler I think this other universe.
0:07 I thought that my phone was loading lol.
We should rename them Hawking Holes.
It means there is no god, no allah, no budha, no heaven, no
paradise…..none of the religions are real, they are just creations and
writings by men to control men with fear and intimidation of nothing
more than fantasies and myths. Bah bye religions.
You can see the shadow of the blackhole if you look closely at the center
Obviously a doctored photo of the flat earth.
Michelle Obama !!! Haaaaa! BLACK HOLE ! LMFAO!!!
WHO gives a shit!???
If you build it they will come
R u sure it look like Uranus .
FAKE This is a black womans pussy
Chiiiill 😂
Black holes = The one closest you can never come out of.
No worries its cgi, only danger is there making money off it while our people starve an struggle with the cost of living medical Bill's health care homelessness child care college mortgages, soldiers forgotten an mistreated .these people need to be held accountable for their actions NASA is starving the world with there fake cgi schemes profiting 52 million dollars a day an giving us nothing but cartoons an false hope , dont tell me our technology comes from them either because last time I checked everything is made in China not space , the only thing made in space is bullshit an money untaxed money from hard working people of every race an country .
U see it's already been proven black holes deposit energy into space. It goes in one black hole and out the other. They're recyclers, not destroyers.
Looks like an eclipse.
So rife with logical contradictions that it's not worth considering. Light can't escape but radiation can? So, some parts of the electromagnetic spectrum get a free pass?
LOL LOL and more fakery.
OK now point that sucker at Earth Now and get a REAL PHOTO of the Earth
Check it out, the collector base
Next let's send our space-craft towards it!
It looks like a planet to me. Not a Black hole.
Black Hole entered My Room!
More space garbage
Event Horizon great movie
