In case you missed it, scientists revealed today that the Event Horizon Telescope has captured the first image of a supermassive black hole:
You're looking at the first ever image of a black hole. It was captured by the #NSFFunded @ehtelescope project. #ehtblackhole #RealBlackHole https://t.co/6dglvqrvOs pic.twitter.com/0hclANf4tc
