Black hole movies coming soon, says leading astronomer
https://phys.org/news/2019-09-black-hole...nomer.html

Quote:By the time an international group of scientists stunned the world with the first ever image of a black hole, they were already planning a sequel: a movie showing how massive clouds of gas are forever sucked into the void.

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration has already recorded the necessary observations and is processing the mountains of data to produce the first video, which will likely be a little jerky, in 2020.

"What I predict is that by the end of the next decade we will be making high quality real-time movies of black holes that reveal not just how they look, but how they act on the cosmic stage," Shep Doeleman, the project's director, told AFP in an interview.
“For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.” -Carl Sagan.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

That, and little Nash Ramblers.

(For those who don't get the reference, I'm referring to the 1958 song by the Playmates).
