You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."

Right after it swallowed a planet, I could see lawyers rushing to the scene. :)
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Please. That would be a good way to dispose of them.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

If you stare at it for 2 minutes straight and then look somewhere else you can see an image of Justin Bieber.

It's amazing how they got the picture -- by taking away everything that they've decided isn't what a black hole should look like. The sheer scope of the editing they carried out leaves the average photoshopper a gazillion light years behind.

It's actually a quote from 2001: A Space Odyssey, as David Bowman falls into the star gate.

Let me get this straight ... a picture of a black hole. In color. And it isn't black. Got it.

Yep that a picture of something that does not allow light to escape is event horizon. I think we need to read the article.

well that's a waste of time... can get the same result faster from a quick glance in the toilet (after a successful visit). bonus (of sorts): sealion dying celine dion will be there too.

Is this the front view? What would it look like if a picture is taken from the back or a side?

That's what I've been wondering. Obviously there's no practical way to find out but wouldn't it be cool if it looked like that from every possible angle?

We can only guess. Likely it looks similar from other angles if it is really formed from a dying star.

Thinking about it, if the luminescence surrounds the black hole, then we should not be able to see through it into the blackness. What we have in the picture is a section through a black hole isn't it. Or are we lucky to be located just where there is a gap in the aura (or whatever it's called) from our point of view. I've got a headache... We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.
