Memes and jokes about the new picture of our galaxy's black hole are predictably great
In a stunning feat, astronomers managed to snap a photo of the black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way.
The feat was impressive: Even light can't escape a black hole, making the objects invisible. Yet scientists managed to image the superhot debris surrounding its shadowy center using eight radio dishes from around the globe that were linked together. In effect, they made an Earth-sized virtual telescope.
Here's the photo, courtesy of the Event Horizon Telescope.

What an amazing feat. Truly stunning.
The internet, of course, had jokes and memes. Because that is what the internet does. Almost immediately the picture of the black hole, called Sagittarius A*, became the subject of memes and jokes. And honestly, the were pretty funny.
I mean come on, some of these are great.

The photo of Sagittarius A*was the second image of a black hole snapped by the Event Horizon Telescope. The first image dropped in 2019, showing the black hole at the center of the Messier 87 galaxy, aka M87.
