Still too close IMO, for what that is.

Well that hole could look completely different now considering how long it takes to get here.

I'm sorry you can't see the forest from the trees.

This is insignificant on the level of your day-to-day life, but this is huge news for humanity as a whole.

Tell me why I should give a shite when LSU's basketball recruiting is suffering from Will Wade being out!

A photo that had to be doctored just to be seen about something that has zero impact on anyone that will ever live on this planet that we spent like 50 million dollars to acquire? Lol so dumb

If you can’t appreciate the pic of the black hole you clearly don’t understand the gravity of the situation.

Let me guess... you’re one of the ones who doesn’t believe we really landed on the moon right?

It honestly has zero effect on my day to day life. The technology advancing is great and all but a picture of a black hole isnt going to make my day any easier

Space is fake. Earth is flat and they are projecting an image of the sky above us.

I can understand... I've been guilty of the same attitude in other areas. There were no doubt a bunch of ol' boys making fun and hootin' at some fellows who told them something called 'lectrical could go through wires and would change society in ways the couldn't imagine...what's going on the the quantum world right now makes that discovery and harnessing of electricity look like circus monkeys.. ... it's cool to laugh at it but it's even cooler if you learn about what's going on and how it will effect what you may actually think is reality.

MAde up? Nah

Do I give 2 shits? Nope

I mean seriously what’s the point? Because they are curious? Do they plan to stop this black hole from one day gobbling up our galaxy? Will they solve all the worlds humanitarian problems studying pictures of a what looks like a backlit anus?

I would prefer if they could tell me at least within an hour of when it will rain. Or maybe spend a little more of your physics knowledge on something that actually make life on earth a little better. I am all for space exploration. Maybe cancer curing medicines need low gravity, no oxygen atomospheres in order to be developed

The ROI on these pics is super low

Without going too deep the study of black holes is expected to help refine our understanding of special relativity and quantum gravity/mechanics. The more we understand the very basics of how physics work the more amazing inventions and processes we develop. These are the type of things that lead to paradigm shifts in how we lead our everyday lives.
