Next Wednesday, at several press briefings around the world, scientists will apparently unveil humanity's first-ever photo of a black hole, the European Space Agency said in a statement. Specifically, the photo will be of "Sagittarius A," the supermassive black hole that's at the center of our Milky Way galaxy.

I saw someones description on Facebook and I can't remember who it was, but they said It looks like a blacked out and blurred photo of the Krispy Kreme Hot Now sign.

Interesting picture though.
