      Still, he is correct. When you put a meter rule against an object for size comparison, that object doesn't automatically become 1m long. He put up the measurement of 50 microarcseconds as a side comparison of how long 40 microarcseconds is.
      But good observation, though now you can stand corrected.

      "In the year ... 2525 ... if man is still alive ....." Watching the end of "Black Hole" on PBS got me here. They started talking about Black Holes getting bigger by gobbling up stars that got too close. Saying the star would start to spin around the Black Hole before going in. Then before they said it, I said "yeah, but the star would become deformed and get squashed and break apart a bit before it got sucked inside the black hole.". Then the show said pretty much just that, and had animation of star getting deformed.

      This photo wasn't made by some random photographer. There was preparations for years so i think Hawking knew about it. He just didn't see actual photo of Black hole (It is also possible that he did see attempts to make a photo, so he could see failed photo, so he was sure there is black hole)

      Like you wanted something with a higher resolution and less fuzziness to match up with being able to see the higher-order mirror reflections around the edge? Agreed, it would be cool, but if we could do it at that resolution now, we would have come up with a really fuzzy one a decade or four ago.
      Check out the Diffraction Limit, see also Airy Disk. We will get better resolution when we have linked radio observatories deployed in high Earth orbit, then at the Earth - moon Lagrange points. And then at the Earth-sun Lagrange points. Diffraction-limited astronomy is expensive to improve upon when you're already using an Earth-sized aperture.

      Indeed, this is a true marvel of modern technology and science. I did a school project about the EHT a few weeks ago. And I see it turned out a lot better than I hoped. It's crazy. Everyone who worked hard on it is completely amazing. Some may say it was pointless, but they typically don't care much for physics. But in reality this is completely monumental. It keeps relativity together, which I believe also allows for relativistic quantum mechanics. I too am glad to be here for a discovery such as this.
