Astronomers who created a global network of radio telescopes called the Event Horizon Telescope captured images of this elusive and inscrutable astronomical object on Wednesday morning. Such images represent not only a major scientific accomplishment but also an opportunity to rethink the cosmos and our place in it.

Without taking anything away from this ground-breaking technical achievement any Forum thoughts on the first ever black hole picture (see link)?

I was very struck by how unexpectedly round and black it was….. I have not been this amazed since I saw my first hammer head shark….

It is pretty cool really :0)

 

That NASA pic looks a bit like an ebay watch. "Case is perfect..."

 

My wallet's black hole would be any vintage watch shop in Japan...
