Very cool. What are those? A vacuum of a dead star or something much more complex? I know nothing of them.

Things that are ****ing awesome but I have almost no grasp of...

Sure I “know” what they are and what they’re supposed to be capable of, but I can’t grasp the idea of it actually happening.

Definitely see a solid rear and plenty of trunk space on this one.

I remember when they first started talking about this, they were supposed to also photograph sagittarius A*. Any idea what happened with that? I would imagine it being 2500 times closer, even with it being smaller, the resolution of the disc should be better. Maybe the interstellar dust cloud made it too difficult to capture?
