Nice work by everone involved    Great

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-47873592

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.
