Anyone remember "The Black Hole" movie? It was a little hard to take it seriously when they used such DOPEY looking robots. Oh, and the crew actually went through the black hole and LIVED! It was sort of like an acid trip experience.

I loved that movie. It had a few hokey elements, but it was a Disney movie, and the funny robots did seem cool to me as a kid. The big bad red robot, Maximillian, was pretty rocking. I think he was probably the inspiration for the Imperial Guard uniforms in Return of the Jedi.
Thanks Ernest, an ‘extra, extra’ to APoD members.
Thanks Ernest.
That isn’t his hair. He is standing directly in front of his sister. You can tell by the red shift.
That said, a layman's version of just how a black ho size is estimated would be interesting...............
Did you just make an Astronomy joke? :)
Any relation to Debbie Wasserman-Shultz? Has her hair.
Ha, Ha, you caught that?
Yep. I’ve taken some classes on Astronomy. It’s not everyday you get to hear an Astronomy joke. :)
Now that makes sense....she has wild hair.
