In 2019, researchers made international headlines by releasing the world's first photo of a black hole. Here's a 1-minute video that zooms from the night sky into that black hole image to show how impressive the achievement was.
Visual China Group, the "Getty Images of China" and owner of 500px, has sparked an outcry after it attempted to claim copyright to the first-ever black hole picture that became a worldwide sensation this week.
There are no real images of a black hole, only artist renderings like the one above and that really cool CGI version in the movie Interstellar. But that may change in the coming years thanks to an algorithm recently developed at MIT.
