BLACK HOLE IN THE COFFEE MUG!!!

…Seriously. 

SO…MUCH…SWIRLY!

(Inspired by the Event Horizon Telescope project, which is a bunch of astronomers trying to network a bunch of radio telescopes together to image the supermassive black holes at the center of the Milky Way and M87)

TheEvent Horizon Telescope is supposed to release their results for the first time this year, so might as well reblog this old image. I drew this way back in undergrad.

Well…they finally did it. Congrats to everyone who worked on the Event Horizon Telescope!

Well, they did it again last week…now we just have to wait a million years for us to finally get a large enough interferometer to resolve any other black hole other than M87* and SgrA*…
