It looks like a giant bagel in space. I'll admit that when they were hyping up to the release of the image I was imagining cool shit. Then they bust out with this. :/
Yeah, I'm old and grumpy.

That image is cool... because it's real!

Yeah, it's cool, at the same time talking about 8 telescopes being networked to turn the world into a giant telescope .. it'd have been nice to see stuff getting sucked in. I know....light can't even escape, apparently.

Meh, still required the millions of dollars in budget to view the real thing. Otherwise how could he have drawn it :-)

Seriously though, I love it when we do stuff like this. Black Holes have fascinated me since I saw the Disney movie as a kid. I know you don't want to get too near one but they're pretty exciting to read about.

Wow, that takes me back.  Dad took us to see that at the cinema.

I've watched it several times over the years since I first saw it in 1979. The ending always strikes me as one of the strangest I've ever seen in a film to date. Can't believe Disney went with it but I'm glad they did.
