Astronomers Capture First Image of a Black Hole

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) — a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration — was designed to capture images of a black hole. Today, in coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers revealed that they have succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow. The image reveals the black hole at the centre of Messier 87, a massive galaxy in the nearby Virgo galaxy cluster. This black hole resides 55 million light-years from Earth and has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun. Supermassive black holes are relatively tiny astronomical objects — which has made them impossible to directly observe until now. As the size of a black hole’s event horizon is proportional to its mass, the more massive a black hole, the larger the shadow. Thanks to its enormous mass and relative proximity, M87’s black hole was predicted to be one of the largest viewable from Earth — making it a perfect target for the EHT.  The shadow of a black hole is the closest we can come to an image of the black hole itself, a completely dark object from which light cannot escape. The black hole’s boundary — the event horizon from which the EHT takes its name — is around 2.5 times smaller than the shadow it casts and measures just under 40 billion km across.

no more girlboss, it’s time for…. (x)

I haven’t finished this drawing yet, as it still have to colour and digitise it. But here’s a drawing of Finral based on this headcannon.

-Finral has a lot of scars from the tournament arc when langris literally put holes in his body. He’s pretty self conscious of them as they cover most of his body and are pretty noticeable.

Hey guys, guess what, I’m crying

Now let me tell you why

@astralgabriel posted this gif recently and I realized

Look who he makes a bee-line for

He doesn’t even look at anyone else, he just books it to Sam immediately and he jumps in front of him no one else. He looks almost worried, very protective.

He stops immediately in front of Sam and turns around ready to fuck shit up, knowing damn well he isn’t strong enough to take them, but he still planted himself in front of Sam and I’m emotional.

LOOK AT HIM SQUARING UP IN FRONT OF SAM

He only starts to relax when he realizes Lucifer killed the angels. But guys if you notice, everytime there was something major happening he always checked on Sam and focused on Sam. Just like he stared at Sam before he stepped up to Michael. He looked at Sam back in hammer of the gods. Sam always seems to be the most important thing in his mind in stressful situations. I feel like that little scene in exodus should get more recognition so here @softiesabriel please notice my post ahh. @letbuckyeathisgoddamnplums

You know, camping is lovely - even though I don’t live in a state that’s so great for it

Weighted blanket is not enough I need someone to do this to me

Okay but the way Beth just fucking LIGHTS up when she hears all her boys??? I could died a thousand deaths and nothing would be as perfect as her reaction to the support of her disfunctional family.
