    My inner pedant is screaming that if you could photograph it, it wouldn't be a stellar sized black hole.

    Any image will be of the accretion disk, which is not part of the black hole proper, and I guess technically should include the absence of an image at the event horizon.

    It is Trump’s anus. It leads to an ultimate MAGA America in which there are no liberals. So that being gay, and mar1juana among other things would not exist forever and ever, ever.
