It's a cool scientific achievement but visually human imagination did it better.

very little imagination went into the interstellar black hole's exterior appearance. it's all based on universally accepted theory on how a black hole would appear. for example this was posted a day before the image was captured:
also:
Its so funny we have all these explanations for things billions of light years away, and we somehow have explanations for all of it, even though we will never see it with our own eyes, or touch it. So its basically having faith it exists. Scientists are fine with that, but they cant accept the universe was created by God, because its something they cant see or touch.
With a pic of the black hole in front of me, I used my cellphone starmap to locate M87. Looking in that direction, I kept thinking, 53 million light years away, just straight ahead ... is This.*
@Patient_Leech / Bashar Teg: Thanks for the size comparison pic / "How to Understand ..." video. They were quite enlightening.
* assuming ofc it's still there.

We can't typically see evolution happening either (although that's not entirely true, but I digress), but when surrounding evidence is overwhelming then, yes, we know. Learn what science is. It's the opposite of "faith." Sure, bring back God. Let's have the Crusades, Inquisition, and witch hunts again... those were good times. Compare what science has done for our general well-being. Lights, plumbing, transportation, the computer you're typing on, the medical science we all benefit from (without which we likely wouldn't even exist), etc. God didn't do those things, man using his understanding of reality did.
What has the power to truly unify the world: Science. And to continue to divide and subjugate? revelatory Religion.

What a low hanging troll comment. Many Scientists believe in God, they just happen to know the scientific method is not about faith 😬

Yea look how bitter they all are, over nothing. Pathetic people here who can’t stand to hear something that shatters their confirmation bias.

You didn’t address my point. You don’t even know this is a black hole, nobody does. It’s a guess reaching billions of light years away.

Looks like we have another guy who thinks he knows all about black holes. Please tel me your experience and knowledge on the subject. How many telescopes do you have, how often do you study astronomy, I don’t think much at all.
You don’t en know this exists but you see a picture that looks like dogshit and because some people said “look it’s a black hole” you believe them.
And you get all emotional about anyone who might not agree.

Your point is that science is like faith. And it's an obviously idiotic thing to say.
No, brolly actually believes his own nonsensical argument. Black holes exist, thus a 2000 year old book of magical stories is factual. He's 100% certain that this is a valid argument, therefore (unfortunately) he is not trolling
