Dear Commons Community,

Yesterday scientists revealed the first ever photograph of a blackhole.  The image itself (below)looks essentially like an orange blob, however, the effort that went into taking the photograph was incredible.  The video above has scientists explaining the Event Horizon Project which took ten years to develop and which synchronized eight telescopes from around the world.
