One fb post showed a diagram with our sun in the center of the black hole and the Voyager 1 at the right edge.

I've seen diagrams with V'ger barely into the donut.

Nice work by everone involved    Great

To the BBC science writer:

That is not the image of the black hole.  It is the image of the accretion disk around the black hole.  Black hole by definition can’t be imaged. It would have the same effect on any imaging sensor as if it was not there. Saying the image of the accretion disk is the image of the black hole is like saying an image of Pluto is an image of the sun.

Can you see a donut hole? 😛

Caption reads. "The data was stored on hundreds of hard drives which were flown to a central processing centre. There was too much of it to be sent over the internet."

And this...

I actually took a photo of a black hole but I was so close it sucked my camera in!
Sorry, you'll just have to take my word for it. You all know I'm good for it.

But really, .............it was nothing.

There was a thread somewhere where a theist said about thinking black holes are a thing that we'd "never actually SEEN a black hole and we just believe in them on faith" who was that?
