Nerd news - First image of a blackhole


Recommended Posts

If it's a black hole, what is the orange round it and why hasn't that been sucked in?

How do they know how big it is? And how do they know it isn't 10 times smaller and 10 times nearer?

Abbreviated answers please.

Very hot gas, plasma, dust etc. It's probably in the process of being sucked in. But currently is far enough away to be observable still.

This is how astronomers measure distance.

Hey francie I've never read the bible.

But does it say anything about space and other planets.the moon etc.

Science fly,s in the face of religion mate which is why they will never accept science as it blows the whole god theory out the water, it was a good lie to control people when we were all thick as shit ie God’s angry it’s raining you better do what I tell you and it will stop, but in this day and age I think the gig is well and truly up, hence the church,s spending all there time and effort in third world country,s as there are still enough stupid feckers left there to make it financially viable to convert them ????
