[–] Maursault 4y ago ↗ I an a little confused because other aggregators are also showing this. Wasn't this image released months ago, like last April or something?So, what is new here? [–] gabrielsroka 4y ago ↗ That was a black hole in another galaxy. This one is the black hole in our galaxy. [–] Maursault 4y ago ↗ Messier 87Thank you! I incorrectly thought, always mistakenly had assumed that the last image (the first image of a black hole) was Sgr A*. I was an idiot all this time.
