Ok, we discuss the super massive Messier 87 Black Hole. That Black Hole itself has a diameter of only 10 km but its gravity force is so strong that it cleans away everything within 37 billion km, the size of our Solar System. Of course you cannot see it or take a photo of it BUT due to MAGIC the vacuum void around it lights up and becomes visible. And photos can be taken! And according to Ms. K. Bouman:
"We developed ways to generate synthetic data and used different algorithms and tested blindly to see if we can recover an image," she says. "We didn't want to just develop one algorithm. We wanted to develop many different algorithms that all have different assumptions built into them. If all of them recover the same general structure, then that builds your confidence."
This is 101% standard pseudoscience.
The NSF photo is 200 billion km from right to left, up down. Nothing else to be seen than a point in the center hole illuminated from … ? It is a composite of millions of photos taken from Earth.
Re the the Sagittarius A*, the Black Hole located in our Milky Way galaxy 25,000 light-years away from Earth, it is 2200 times closer, but it doesn't mean it's a better subject to photograph, we are told. There are too many cosmic objects in between the two with billions of stars, planets, and dust floating in the same flat disk of the Milky Way.
This is 102% pseudoscience.
But people on Earth believe it. Some are well paid to promote the propaganda and … I just laugh about them. They are like Mr. Buzz Aldrin, PhD MIT 1963 that invented the human space travel hoax. He arrived at the Moon summer 1969, pissed on it … and never had a real job since.
Ms. Bouman! Welcome to the pseudo science club of fame. It is a big hole of nobodies. Many become alcoholics. What else to do there?
