In a truly remarkable feat of astronomy, scientists have
for the first time taken a picture of a black hole
Just before the 50th anniversary of man's adventure to the
moon, scientists have announced that they have successfully
managed to capture an image of a black hole. This celestial
object, predicted in so many physics equations all the way
from Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity, has finally
been manifest in physical form, albeit in a blurry picture
that looks like the corona during a solar eclipse. The
flurry of spherical images and the attendant data are
helping scientists develop new insights into the mysterious
environment close to black holes, where the pull of gravity
is so intense that it has the power to destroy all known
realities. This will also help us understand the origin of
jets of radiation that are blasted out from the black holes
close to the speed of light, creating colourful flashes
across the cosmos. This is an amazing achievement that also
highlights just how far astronomical observation has come
in the 400 years since the invention of the telescope by
Dutchman Hans Lippershey, not Galileo as many wrongly
believe. This discovery just highlights why mankind should
keep on exploring the planets and why this should be a
global quest.

The picture here is completely different than all the other reports on
this I've seem. What gives?
