I know where that lost wrench went!

And as I understand it, our entire solar system would fit in that black center!

Pulled my battery out of the 100-6 yesterday and there was the wrench I lost four years ago when we still lived in Maryland. It was like finding an old friend!

I was reading up on this yesterday. It is pretty amazing to see and it further confirms Einstein's general theory of relativity. I also read that the information to form the image used up five petabytes of storage.

That's a serious amount of data! 5000 Terabytes!

Are those anything like a trilobite?

Bas, that was a pretty good video, he actually did a good job of explaining what is going on in the image we have seen and of course he was right because he was using relativity to explain what the image would look like and the image appears just as Einstein theorized it would.

It was interesting that there was not much new but just more confirmation of what they theorized. When one of the scientists was asked "what did you learn from it?" his response was "Einstein was right again."
