We may be only days away from seeing the first-ever photo of a black hole

are super-dense remnants of collapsed stars whose gravitational forces are so intense that not even light can escape. But if black holes themselves are completely black — invisible — scientists believe that radio waves given off by the gas and dust swirling around them are visible through a sufficiently powerful telescope.

What might that look like in a photo? Physicists have hypothesized that it might look like a dark area over a bright background — essentially the"They have always aspired to image a black hole"shadow," and the best bet is that they have accomplished this feat," Roger Blandford, a Stanford University astrophysicist who is not part of the EHT collaboration, told NBC News MACH in an email.

Blandford said he would be listening in on the briefing, adding that he would be"thrilled" to see an image of a black hole."When I first got interested in black holes as a student, I never imagined that such a feat would be possible."

Dawn of the 2nd Day....48 Hours Remain

Ok. So...what are we suppose to gather from a photo of a blurred burning match?

Looks like the ring.

coincidence?

This is simply a close up of the eye of the pumpkin I carved last Halloween.

Space anus, spanus

It looks like a glazed donut!

I swear I’ve seen this image in a movie, very eerie. Maybe that’s what I’ve been focusing on...uh

BlackHolesMatter and that's punier than I first thought

reaganHeilman Breaking news.... this is just a photo someone’s 3 year old took of the family, they jut had their finger over the lens

I volunteer to go in it. and yes I know I’m not coming back

You should post a picture of Uranus

Don't believe it. Research flat earth.

Whoa

MikePrattPhotos Is just me, or does remind you of LotR?

They have taken a picture of a black hole, that’s the spot the Obama administration threw the evidence they investigated the trump campaign. Hillary also threw her hard drives from her private server .

Not ANOTHER LOTR movie!

俺、色逆じゃね！？

Astonishing !!!

I've seen blacker

Can we shove the WH in it and just rebuild?

Soon a religious cult will form based upon this image.

Like my arse after a vindaloo 🔥

Kewl!

The donut of space

Now I’m craving a Krispy Kreme glazed donut 🍩

JUST IN SCIENTISTS DONUTS.

Hole-y Molee!

Looks like tRumps chin hole

With today’s incredible technology, I was able to get a close up

I just see a glorious doughnut in the sky.

I made one of those in chemistry with a nut and a Bunsen burner

Black holes are flat🤓

Absolutely Phenomenal Thanks for the news feed!

I think we are seeing Obama’s seal records

betterpakistan Indian stupid media will report it like this ' Ye dekhiye, ye black hole, pakistan ne banaya hai aur is ko banane me molana Masood azhar ka naam hai'. 🤭 😀 😀. Hahahahaha. Aur phir mazay ki baat k un ki jahil awam is per belive bhi kar leti. Gadhe

Flat Earthers: explain a black hole please.

Poor quality. Probably taken with an Android.

Keep you good work in social science M.Shapiro. Oviousely astronomy is not you trade 🙂

Creepy.

Holy fuck...it's beautiful.

It's the eye of Sauron!!!!!!! RUN LIKE HELL AND LOOK FOR HOBBITS!

It’s not black 🤔🤔🤔

That’s just a picture of my butt after some Taco Bell, come on now.

nbcbayarea

nbcbayarea This is a joke.

Not too far off from what Interstellar came up with, I’d say.

So there is hope for earth.

couldn't have turned on the flash? i can barely see it

Goatse. jpg

They used the Bifrost to capture this photo.

Next time don’t use a Lomo for this!

Trumps brain

How many does it take to fill the Albert Hall? :-)

Is this the one donlemon said swallowed the plane

Once you go black, you never go back

Aptly named 'Rosie'

Seriously disappointed in the lack of “yer mama” jokes in the replies....

A magnified images zooms in on the source of the black hole ...

A camera is nothing more than a “light capturing device”. A “black hole” by definition is a called black hole because light cannot escape the gravitational pull of whatever mass is now inside the hole. Q: how did the light reach the camera? Answer: we are inside a black hole.

CGI garbage It's pretend

Not a black hole. Just the surrounding/indication of a black hole. A black hole being visible by rejecting any light into a camera would be against anything ever discovered about the universe...

NBC with their elaborate out of focus goatse pranks.

The Terrifying Sight Inside Trump’s Head.

Looks like my asshole after thai food

That black hole apparently had hot space wings last night for dinner

God Is Watching... True in more ways than one!

Can we send the democrats into it? 😆

We should name it after Rosie O’Donald

Honestly, looks like a short axis slice of the myocardium. I’ve seen a lot of images like this doing NM stress tests.

So what?

It’s so laughable how nasa continues to fake everything

DARK SOULS 3!

I don't see the LIBERAL caucus....

Lumberist Is this an mri of JustinTrudeau ‘s brain? canpoli

A joke just occurred to me.

I thought black holes had so much gravitational pull that even light could not escape. How is there light in this picture?

Scientists: “This is a black hole” Me: “Girl that’s a booty hole”

^Scientists unveil first image of Sauron.

That's the big reveal?

I’d say it looks more like this...

😧😧😧😧😧

Amazing, I could have made that picture in like 4 minutes with a flashlight, a bottle of vodka and my IPhone

They already could have taken one where Trump's heart is supposed to be.

Yes, Lord Sauron, I will build you an army worthy of Mordor.

Bullshit, the Speech is free

Yeah TeamPelosi

ur mom haaaahahahahhaha

Incredible

As I suspected: very black. Very hole-like.

That doesn’t even come close to resembling my sock drawer.

Thinking area 51...

And how do we know how much it weighs? People believe anything!!

If you pan to the left you can see two hobbits throwing a ring into a volcano.

Nobody believes a thing you say or show

Looks like my anus when I eat spicy food

this is so cool

Soundgarden unveiled it first

KatyBlakeyNBC5 Looks like the soul of my ex-wife tammy.

Chris Cornell?

Here. I sharpened the image for you guys. BlackHoles

Nice

gravametric scales are off the chart captain... I don't know how much longer I can keep the ship together.

Where would we be without brilliant scientists?

nbcbayarea We dead

Clickbait warning. That is NOT what this article is about. The photo is NOT unveiled here. It’s about a potential future unveiling.

Thanos is coming! EHTBlackHole

Looks like Uranus

That isnt even the actual photo. Fake news

Scary as SHIT!

🎧Black hole sun

RIP Stehen Hawking. You would have loved this! Why do I hear all the info on this in his voice. LOL!

ToneOzMia

It's Sauran. Destroy the ring of power in the fires of Mount Doom.

halbsuper

Um, guys....?

Actually I’ve seen photos of a black hole before, Michigan still has nightmares Kinnick HawkeyeFootball

Meh.

What else can they see 55 million light years away?

UncleChaps is this black hole trying to get the pipe?

Fraud

That they know about lol

Basically the same, right? EyeofSauron

Well, that was disappointing, wasn’t it?

Nickshirley12

Turned out to be a black bore.

NBC29 soundgardens gonna get a kick out of this.

Waow. It' black and it's a hole.

So.... it’s a blurry photo of a jack o lantern?

Can we send AOC on a mission to investigate further?

Taken with an iPhone

Looks like bigfoot.

Soo pretty. I could jump in.

Is that Sauron?

Science is awesome!

Disappointed. I thought it was going to be Oprah shooting a mooner.

Did they try tapping the screen?

Well thats underwhelming

jacobsamuels

Kim lips impact! Stan loona 💆🏽‍♀️

brancatoaa it me

Pff

Hüzünle bakıyorum bu fotoğrafa. Sonuçta kim bilir kaç milyon yıl sonra bizim gökadamiz da karışacak karanlığa. İşte durum böyleyken 10 gündür İstanbul kazanmış belediye başkanının mazbatasını bekliyor. Başka illerde de. Anayasamız orada mahzun mahzun bekliyor. ekrem_imamoglu

🧐

You know of what I speak, Gandalf — a great Eye… lidless… wreathed in flame.

Obviously you haven’t seen my heart for the last 23 years..

I think we should send the GOP, trump, Barr and all the evangelicals to get a better look and a redacted report

Johnny Cash would be in awe

This black hole looks like Uranus.

Geez, if you can’t manual focus, use the autofocus. youhadonejob

The heat signature reading is through the roof!

Time to defund the program.

What

It looks like a spaghettio.

And thats my science teacher talked about for the whole day 🤔

SashaGrey is that you?

This may be AOCs mouth.

Idk

Guess I don't have to file taxes.....

The universe is beautiful and almost impossible to understand

These replies make me want to enter it

Who funded the camera? The Glazers?

If time stops around black holes is it actually still there ?

Rather anticlimactic, but IDK what I was expecting. It is, in fact, a black hole surrounded by superheated gas. Cool that our predictions turned out be exactly correct.

looks blurry, please adjust the focus and take another

is that the eye of fuckin sauron?🤣🤣

Can the second one be in focus?

How far away is it?

Space between AOC ears

The details are amazing. 🙄

Uh. Looks more like Uranus.

KOAA That's the best they could do? They couldn't have gotten closer to get a better shot? Oh wait, never mind

Wow!

fit2thebone1

I see trump floating around in it!!

Actually not the first image of a black hole

Event Horizon Telescope team: • Black hole pictured weighs 6.5 billion times more than the sun • Material moving around the black hole accelerated to light speeds

A image ofTrumps soul.

If this image is 55 million light years away then how did event horizon scope captured this image? By going 55 million light years away?

That’s Uranus after eating too much Indian food.

‘Hit the Ground Running’: Advice for Chicago’s First Black Woman Mayor From Other TrailblazersChicago is preparing to elect its first black woman mayor in a runoff vote today between Lori Lightfoot and Toni Preckwinkle. It will be the biggest city in the U.S. to be run by an African-American woman. She may run a big city but my big wife runs my small house We asked several current and former mayors who were the first African-American women to serve in that office to give advice for the future leader of the nation's third largest city. Honestly getting tired of the obsession we have over skin color, something I thought we had realized didn’t mean anything to their character.
