First Ever Image of a Black Hole, Scientists Call It ‘a Monter’

Astronomers have released the first-ever image of a black hole from a distant galaxy. With a size of 3 million earth put together and almost 40-billion km across, the black hole has been dubbed as ‘a monster’ by the scientists. It took a network of eight linked telescopes, called Event Horizon Telescope to capture the image of this massive black hole. According to the observers, the black hole has 6.5 million times the mass of our sun and is situated 500 million km away from earth. The bright surroundings of the black hole are gaseous materials orbiting it, while the centre is pitch black that devours even light through its gravitational pull. The rendition that we are used to seeing in our movies is close to this picture. So, what stands, in theory, is been proven now through this picture. But the image is still blurry and isn’t jaw-dropping. But the scientists are happy that the image will give them more information to study the black hole. Report by BBC News.

But it’s changing now as about 3,500 Amazon employees have finally broken the barrier of silence to speak up against climate change and that their company should be doing something about it. The online letter published by the employees directly addresses CEO Jeff Bezos and the board of directors. The employees have written a superbly structured letter explaining where the e-commerce giant is lacking in its strategy for fighting climate change. Excerpt from the letter said, “These traits have made Amazon a top global innovator but have been missing from the company’s approach to climate change.”
