The Somewhat Ambitious

By combining the forces of telescopes in Hawaii, Arizona and California (like some sort of Captain Planet knock-off sans the Equadorian monkey-toting douchebag), astronomers have taken the closest ever look at the black hole which resides in the centre of the milky way. Using a technique called Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), the astronomers were able to view detail, in terms of scale, equivalent to zooming in on a baseball on the moon (presumably planted there by the Flat Earth Society). Jonathan Weintroub, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, stated “We’ve observed nearly to the scale of the black hole event horizon - the region inside of which nothing, including light, can ever escape”. Jesus.

In the words of my grandmother… can that be good for your eyes?
