Their existence was predicted by more General scientific theories (for the first time — at the end of the XVIII century) and since then repeatedly confirmed by calculations. But scientists did not have "material evidence" — and now they do.

that looks like a glazed donut that's very out of focus

It's quite amazing, science as usual keeps doing its thing, it's hard to imagine why someone would be religious in 2019 considering all the advances science has achieved.

I say its fiction. They found 1 observation that fit their models. But we are dealing with a very grainy photograph that could be interpreted in dozens of other ways. I think the whole scientific "worldview" is a mental concoction, not really real.

Definitely a significant moment in astrophysics. The theories of black holes have been with us for most of my lifetime, but that's all they were; theories. From a physical science perspective the theories are pretty robust, and widely accepted by astrophysicists. The photo may not teach us any more than we already know about the existence of black holes, but it goes a long way to vindicate the theories. The first photographic evidence is a huge milestone.

Apparently, there have been articles circulating on the internet regarding with the first ever blackhole picture or even a footage

These telescopes had been focused on two black holes, one at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy – known as Sagittarius A (SgrA) – and one another – known as M87 – which is almost 54 million light years away.

Even if it is just a glance I am still so amazed with its beauty.

This is a pretty big deal! The first 2 take away's, blackholes look like what science predicted it would and we can actually see the point of no return which is amazing when you think about what that means. NOTHING that passes the point of no return can overcome the gravitational forces to come back out, not even LIGHT.

This is great. It's a start at finding out what a BH really is. Cool
