Scientists captured and released the first-ever picture of a black hole. WIRED’s Deputy Science Editor Adam Rogers spoke with Harvard’s Michael Johnson and Andrew Chael, two of the members of the research team, to find out what the achievement means for science.

Sad that Stephen hawking died one year before he could see this 😢
I'm looking forward to this kind black hole simulation in movies and tv!
So they waited 50 million years for the flash to reach wow
I thought it was gonna ask Google's most asked questions
uhmm…. mmm… amm… yeaahhh… uhmm.. what.. what… what…. uhm…
AMAZING
Fake
Imagine this. What if this image isn't really a black hole?
It would've been more awesome if nasa released a camera into space and put it inside the black hole to see what happens to the camera inside the black hole
Light is projecting our reality
Dude it looks like Sauron's eye or something
The camera quality is doo doo
That's CGI just like every image of NASA..
The real black hole at the center of the universe is…the US Defense budget
Why do we not have a picture of the black hole at the center of our galaxy?
Looks like a blunt cherry to me
Stay high
Here we go again with flat earthers…
#Yeet
Someone probably made the photo on Microsoft paint and now the world believes it
Scientists gonna keep trying and coming up with new stuff and one day you will hear some other stories that’s gonna shine you how how is that possible we knew all our life this and now it’s not …. and the end it all come to the Big Creator GOD 🤗 no one knows the universe and you will never !!
So its not a picture of a black hole, only the light surrounding it? Am I understanding right???
Felix was obviously in charge if this whole operation.
Since that black hole is 55 million light years away it took 55 million years for that black holes waves to get to earth which is a long time!!!!!!
I hope that doesn’t come on over to our galaxy
Finally Katy bouman doesn't get the credit
Apparently everyone in the comment section has been in space and definitely knows more then actual scientists
Imagine being a black hole millions of light years away and being caught on camera and become an instant meme
Stephen Hawkings prediction was real!!

Reconstructed image = FAKE
But if the viscous forces and the heat of radiation is this bright light surrounding the Black Hole then why weren't we able to see a Black hole until now if it happens naturally and occurs continuously? ??
The assumption of it being 50 million years old was presented in this conversation as obvious. Yet, it was not explained as to how we know this
Hawking to death: Am I a joke to you?
If something sucks in even light, does it not mean that whatever is sucking the light in is even faster than light? If that is so…..doesnt it disturb the notion that there is nothing faster than light?
These fools are getting pictures of black holes in distant galaxies, and here I am getting stoked if I get FPV reception 20 yards away on my drone's 1000 TVL cam.
Rumors say the black hole is where all the Haiti money went donated to the Clinton foundation
Oh hey Neil degrasse Tyson bent over
