No what? That's exactly what I described.
Your picture doesn't show the event horizon. Must make u butthurt that its not as interesting as u want people to think.

ok, I'm very confused by what you mean. The black in the middle is the event horizon. Black holes are a near perfect black body, as in they are black. If emvs cannot escape the event horizon then all you're going to get is a black sphere.
The closest thing we have as an example of how black an event horizon is:
Resident Cosplay Progressive
You are using strictly art term to describe very scientific creation. Do you know how comic is this?
That was the plan from the beginning of the EHT.
Yeah. Every single scientist and astronomy fan must be butthurted by your posts on Warcraft forum.
It is very common today: 'I have no idea about something so i will make my own agenda. Everyone else is wrong.'
Exactly, we cannot see it, so its a picture of little interest to me. I really want to know what goes on in the event horizon. We know what happens in the eye of a tornado, hurricanes etc.we can see it, and use equipement to get readings of it. So, no possibility with black hole outside sci fi dark energy/matter tech...
Awesome, now I can't wait for them to get an image of Sagittarius A.
Eh. Event horizon is the edge. The border between the black hole and the light surrounding it. Event horizon refers to that edge in which if light crossed it, it can't escape the gravitational pull.
So we can definitely see the event horizon. Technically we can't see the black hole, but we the image is evidently a picture of the black hole due to negative space.

Lol u ARE butthurt oh no u don't like origin of words as if it somehow devalues what they describe
Words have meaning, ur nerd feels is of no importance, u can go ahead n use any term for the exact same thing, i'd welcome it in fact.
So ur excited over a picture not showing the one thing it should show...this is the thing media has hyped since sunday, I hope they learned their lesson n don't do this ever again, what a let down.
Infracted.

This is the first image that conclusively proves the existence of black holes. To date, we have not produced any other conclusive proof of one, although we were able to accurately predict their nature using general relativity.
While it is true that this is not a "picture of a black hole", it is the media that has reported this inaccurately (mainly for the sake of clarity when communicating to a non-science audience); the research teams who produced this image never made the claim that it was a picture of one, because a picture of a black hole is of course impossible.
Nevertheless, as I stated, this was the first demonstrable proof of the existence of a black hole, and it was a monumental achievement, in line with the mapping of the human genome.
If your contention is that this achievement will fade from the public consciousness soon, then I won't disagree. However, like the mapping of the human genome (a feat of which many people are still unaware), this information will enable scientific research in that field to continue to progress. In several years, there may even be consumer applications that utilize this knowledge.
I think your desire to minimize this achievement comes from your own lack of imagination of what could be done with this knowledge, and your embarrassment from being somewhat unable to grasp the fundamentals of it.
You cannot go blame the media for this.
Don't go make a heads up! to the media. U have scientists making anouncement about picture of a black hole, tell them it will be shown on wednesday...
So what becomes the subject matter (i trust u don't need to google this term)?
The black hole.
What is shown?
Everything but the black hole...
Next time u decide to make an anouncement in advance, it better live up to its description n hype...
Like when they landed a probe on an asteroid.
We have known about black holes for years this doesn't deserve nowhere near the media attention it got.

I'm not sure your drawing lexicon is very relevant for black holes. You can't see the singularity, or anything beyond the event horizon, because their intrinsic property is that they don't let photons escape their gravitationnal pull. That doesn't mean there is nothing to see as a huge black spot in an otherwise starry galaxy, warping the light from the stars around it must be quite a haunting sight, not to mention the extremely bright accretion disk of matter revolving around it at absurd speeds.
Now, the current image is very low res for obvious reasons but that does not mean there is nothing worth seeing about black holes.
In layman's terms, it is defined as the shell of "points of no return", i.e., the boundary at which the gravitational pull of a massive object becomes so great as to make escape impossible
Maybe I misinterpret this wrong but to me that means if you cross the event horizon you can't escape. However that means that you can ride just outside which we will see, which would still be the event horizon to me. I will watch the video later, but if event horizon is only after you crosses point of no return then it's exactly the same as being the black hole. Figured event horizon is the border between space and the black hole in question.
Seems like an aruument of semantics. So if we point at the border and say this is the event horizon we can't see that border? Would be hard to point it out. As I said I watch it when I get home.

This was so awesome to see. Also great to see what the internet is doing with it.
I know all of that but scientists should down their hype anouncements. Sure it would get less attention but science shouldn't indulge in this kind of tacky behavior..u got every media in the world counting down the days of the reveal. Some might have expected a lot but i knew we could never see the iris..so what could it be? A lot of pessimism that we with our primitive tech could find anything interesting. I didn't like the idea of any picture, i wanted only data, information...anything about the great mystery, but noooo..instead get picture of the surroundings with lower resolution than minecraft..

I bet there's a picture of a giant space squid being sucked into the vortex trying to pull in the millenium falcon.
If not, go create it.

No, I wouldn't dream of taking on your job. Have u ever made a post of any value?
All you. ever. do. is make replies how u don't like this, don't like that, don't like that poster, don't like that country. etc.
Never make any arguments. Plenty of people dislike all kinds of things, but at least they have something to say
I find Hubcap's posts n threads more useful than anything you have ever done here...you...are just around making...replies..
