May not seem like much, but it's one of the most incredible photos of our lifetimes tbh
And the most valuable information gets lost on religious fanaticism and armchair moral policing based on incredible works of fiction.

Is it really what they think it is though?
I've studied some of this stuff and they make these big announcements yet when you dig a little deeper that's sometimes all that they are ........... grand gesture announcements.
Are all the scientists in agreement that its a Black hole?
Why do I say this for e.g, they announced the Big Bang as fact when its not, I once had a conversation with an Cosmologist who explained to me that not all scientist accept that model and can even offer counter evidence, but the most popular theory prevails as standard.
Technically nothing about our existence or the beginning of the universe/time is a fact, because we don't know the big answers about any of it. Having said that, scientist as a whole don't claim things to be facts, even if it's quoted as such. We're supposed to realize as humans that we don't know these answers, so when something is discovered and said as fact, it really just means that's what the current evidence points to. Not everyone in the world of science agrees on everything. That's why it has to be viewed by scientific peers in the industry and agreed upon by the majority to accept it.
The Cosmologist I spoke to said there is a quiet section of scientists who think the big bang is bollocks.
However because its the big famous theory that is able to wrap is up neatly its not argued against.
I don't blame them. The Big Bang theory believed by scientists says that nothing exploded and created everything; which according to the laws of physics is impossible.
