Oh it’s one of the biggest events in human’s history for knowledge. It confirms everything physicists predicted what a black hole looks like and proves more of Einstein’s General Relativity.

One of the craziest things about it is the image is over 50 million years old. That takes my brain for a ride.

It's useful science, but the released picture was... disappointing. Not even a scale to give you an idea of how big this is.
