International Team of Astronomers Obtains First Direct Image of a Black Hole

In the constellation Cassiopeia, 7,100 lightyears away, a start 45-times as heavy as our Sun is blowing out superhot winds of gas travelling at 6.4 million km/hr. These winds push against the much cooler blanket of interstellar gas, bunching them up along the surface of a giant bubble over seven lightyears across.
