For everyone who complains about it being so blurry.
You realize how far away it is right?

I remember how amazed I was to see images of the red giant star Betelgeuse back in the 90s.
Mad Pyer honestly the farther the better
And Betelgeuse is about 1000 times wider in terms of angular diameter (50 milliarcseconds vs micro)
They should have used p30 pro ( joke) 😂😂😂😂

The Joke Ruiner why? I just said what I thought
Hawking was a stooge and said the dumbest crap imaginable like the Universe starting from an infinitely hot spaceless point🤦🏼♂️
I think it's more impressive that Einstein came up with the general relativity without even having access to any of this tech we have today, he just mathematically predicted its existence. The man was a living super computer.
Well actually Einstein disproved the existence of true mathematical black holes

The last moments !! Are you referring to the dilation of the cosmos ? Or to the life expectancy of a black hole ?
That pretty much sums it up lol hail the tiktok generation
@@ipassingthrough yea these punk zoomers are ridiculous
The last moments of what?
This is a historic moment. This image will now be used in the science books for schools and colleges as the first image of a black hole
Simon Cowell if such thing as updated textbooks in this day and age, it would be on the cover most likely
Yes...I was thinking that myself earlier! It's like the photograph of the Earth taken from the moon, or the picture taken of the astronaut during the first spacewalk in 1984, or the Pale Blue Dot. They are iconic images that appear in so many textbooks and encyclopedias and are now part of the visual record of our space exploration history. This image is up there with those!
Not enough real/truth information for it to be included. Yet
No it won't, information of this magnitude is kept secret from the general population. It's a control method. Schools and colleges are designed to brainwash.
Why so many animations along with image?

Derek: Its size is 40 microarcseconds
Thumbnail: Its size is 50 microarcseconds
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.
Great job illustrating what micro arc-seconds looks like. Thank you.
Yup

Wtf
"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.
it amazes me every time whenever i realize that things like this ARE real, its literally so cool. like how dinosaurs are real, and how people find fossils of their bones, and teeth and what not, and how they even get a glimpse of this black hole. and its even more amazing how there could be more creatures out in the ocean that has yet to be discovered
Life’s beautiful isn’t it ?
It is also so important to think about the great creator "Allah" who created all of this, we should know about him, why he created us? , why he has sent to us messenger? what is the message ?what after life?
I hate that black holes exist. It terrifies me a little that there are regions of space-time from where not even light can escape. I kinda wish Einstein had been right.
Only 2 videos in from this channel and I’m already blown away enough to sub to it. I can’t wait to binge this channel this weekend. :)

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)

This black hole was in the past, so you currently seeing is 52 million years ago!!!!

Came home after a grueling day at work, absolutely exhausted.
Yet, the release of all this research and the image have wonderously lifted my spirit. What a time to be alive.
These videos are relaxing for me after a 12 hour shift and a 2 hour gym session. Going to bed in an hour to do it all again tomorrow
It’s weird to think we are seeing this thing 10’s of millions of years ago I wonder if we are dead yet lol like what

it sounds stupid but this discovery legitimately brought me to tears because of the sheer magnitude of it. too many people will think it's 'just a photo' and never wrap their minds around the fact that we may have just experienced as big an event as newton's apple, if not bigger. This is a colossal leap for humanity and my brain is going crazy right now trying to grasp the scale of this
Alex K It’s something to remember for sure
everyone will witness this from now on
This kinda scared me because this means that the strength is stranger than the length in how far away it is from earth and especially since the wave is pointing almost at us that makes it more scary
the blackhole is like 3000 light years away bro
@@fristyfull2655 "50 Million light years away."
And those "waves" are called jets.
What’s trippy for me is the fact that after dividing the sky with 180 degrees, dividing the degrees with 60 mins then with 60 secs, suddenly scientists are like “time to divide it with 100s instead baby”
That’s how time works too lol. Goes from hours to minutes to seconds, then centiseconds (technically deciseconds first, but who cares lol) then milliseconds, etc
Your previous video got me 1000x more excited for this
Shubham Jha same here!
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.

Things about of speed light can pass through the black hole which is impossible... At the aall universe things will be absorb by B. H
@Yama Kazoo A reasonable explanation would be that they don't get enough light from a good source to see them, since they're pretty far away from the sun and there isn't another star near us. Someone should correct me on this if I'm wrong.
The fact that Stephen Hawking wasn't alive to see this is actually tragic.

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.

Einstein didn't think they existed and that there was some law of nature that prevented them from forming.
Congratulations to humanity.
This day is historic for all of us.
Dev Upadhyay sad day because they are faking it
I somehow don't believe the entirety of humankind deserves congratulation on this.
Over rated.
@@DarkVitamins yes, yes. Big congrats all around! Keep those taxes comin'!
Most obvious bait troll I’ve ever seen
I find it amazing that what we’re seeing happened millions of light years ago
This is INCREDIBLE🔥😱😱
Many ppl have mentioned Einstein and Hawking, but I'd have liked to have heard Feynman's take on this. Congrats to the whole team.
Canuck Fundy all the cool kids would love to hear Feynman’s thoughts on this for sure. Preferably while he plays bongos at a bar while chasing some tail.
@@AUXdrone Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!
@@AUXdrone Chasing some tail? I don't think Feynman was a player. Not that I heard at least.
Canuck Fundy Feynman was rumored to be a fun loving, party dude, to put it mildly
@@medexamtoolsdotcom Between the death of his first wife in the late 40's and his remarriage to settle down as a family man, Feynman was a player. He played bongos in bars while drinking 7-Up. No booze as he was a recovering alcoholic.

Blackhole: Im about to end this whole mans career.
Stan?
My head hurts with aw ..epic stuff guys , thanks
Imagine if scientists and engineers were completely wrong about how space works especially farther away from us
What an astonishing achievement of mankind!
It just makes me sad that Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, Karl Schwarzschild and so many other great scientist didn't get to see this.
But really I feel they already saw it happening and just the mere physical manifistation didn't make any different
They will know more now than before, don't be sad
Don Guru de Bro its all fake dont be a fool
Some womankind were also involved, I'm positive.
@@redhotbits Please stop writing your nonsense under every comment. You're just showing how ignorant you are.
Stunning. Being born in 1955, I've seen the launch of Sputnik, Mercury 1 with Cdr. Alan Sheppard, men walking on the moon, the landing of spacecraft on Mars, an Asteroid and one of our craft (Voyager 1) actually traveling beyond the outermost reaches of our Solar system. Now, images that prove the existence of Black Holes.
What a ride...
Imagine being duped since 1955 and feeling good about it. What a sad ride.
@@spaceman4330 That would be funny. But, I'm a fan of Stanley Kubrick's films. If anyone could pull off a fake moon landing, he could have. Maybe we just need to look at all the footage from the space program and look for his tell-tale "Easter Eggs."
BTW, I admire your name. Is it Romanian? I had a housemate from Cluj, and she was one of the dearest people I ever knew.
@@_blank-_ Well, Kim, there's one more good thing about being young, you don't have to learn so damned much history! Cheers.
Yeah, that's great
Boomers are quite gifted indeed.
Even a thought of such a massive entity exists out there which devours everything it comes on it’s way. This is so humbling as a human
And now the image of sgrA* come out, this is the great success for scientists..
