Sooooo....how is that image much clearer than the one that came out today?
The global Event Horizon Telescope is gearing up to provide the first direct look at a black hole. https://alma-telescope.jp/en/column/bhimaging8 …pic.twitter.com/QJFqbhv45u

That was a computer simulation. The image released today is the real thing.
-
It can't be the real thing as it's in the electromagnetic spectrum
-
Everything you see is in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Touche, I meant visible. How come the photo is visible then?
-
I wasn't being flip. Radio waves are no less visible than light waves--they just aren't visible *to the human eye*. TSA officers in the airport spend all day looking at images created from "invisible" forms of radiation.

So this image from 2017 is more clearer than the 2019 blurry mess that everyone is trying to make a big deal out of? Sad!

I hope this doesn't come off as a stupid question. Can one actually see a black hole or only the effects of a black hole?
-
That depends, do you see the stars or do you see the photons produced by the stars? The way we use the word "see" does not discriminate in that sense, but maybe this is more like seeing an aerial photo of a ships wake but not the ship? Anyway, the light is from stuff falling in.

I’m gonna need some time to ruminate on that!
Thanks
