I'm annoyed that so many articles and people complain that it's blurry . It's the first image of its kind . And it's light-years away

Always up vote Katie Bouman

I wonder if she knows that she’s really big on Imgur right now..?
tinytyty13
These are going to be historical pictures in 30 years.

AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
Her Twitter account shows as suspended. Did the fucking Internet Incels mass report her account or something?
ASMRuVeganYet
The optimist in me hopes it's something else, but if not I hope whoever reported her falls into a black hole.
oooooooooof
Probably. The shit female scientists/technologists go through online is fucking crazy.

Too many anus comments here

I'm gonna upvote all these posts, no matter how many times I see them.
AlkeneThiol
Yeah there's about a thousand of them. If she was 300lbs with a bad complexion, I wonder how many there would be
dontbanme2000and26
Not wanting to discredit anyone involved, but id like to know the whole team who helped in the algorithm. It cant be just her.
IAmAdolfHitlerCommanderoftheThirdReich
It was over 200 people who made it possible, using work spanning something like 10 - 15 years. It wasn't just her by a long shot.
Muzzledreaper
Don't know why you're being down voted so bad. It's the truth...
Justforlookingthrough
Watch the TED talk. They are shown at the end.

No doubt, they were submariners.

Whatever you did or are doing, it's enough. You can bring your own greatness into the world.
ChiLLeCheeze
Why would I compare myself to someone else? That will make you feel bad. You have your own accomplishments.
FireBreathingStockBroker
Some people developed massive innovations furthering our understanding of the universe. Some people have successful bowel movements.
ChiLLeCheeze
After a few days of constipation, it can be quite a load off to let it all out.

Nerds rule. Yes we do.
Tozlaheb
Geeks rule my dude
Willybum84
Seems like a good idea to let nerds rule. Science will save us from our own fuck ups.
InfinitusEquitas
Science absent morality would be highly practical and equally cruel.
assymcgee7
I hate to be that guy. But what’s all this black hole stuff? I haven’t been on imgur for 18 hours
Smallbrownrabbit
4 days of data collection, 5 petabytes of data, 2years processing and 1 picture released 12 hrs ago
assymcgee7
Ok so it’s an actual picture of an actual black hole?
TheNewGray
When most people here were born there were 8 or 9 known planets. Now there are thousands. Some with pictures.
FishingForAlbert
Yep
TheGriffin
and now we have Black Hole Chan
Smallbrownrabbit
Yes but measured in radiowaves. they got exactly what they expected. More coming. New research and amazing international cooperation
assymcgee7
Gotcha. Ok. Thank you lol

This exchange is why I love imgur.

He’s my neighbor! I’ll show it to him later and report his reaction.
