Thread: Scientists Observe Birth of Black Hole

So apparently scientists believe that we may actually be witnessing the birth of a black hole for the very first time. Here's the story:

Pretty cool. I wonder if we'll ever be able to image a black hole. They're way too tiny to do so with current technology, of course.

Did get a little laugh though from the enthralling description, "vibrant swirl of blues, greens, yellows, and pinks", which the editor gave to a false-colour picture of a supernova.

^ lol, it's black hole afterbirth.
