Stupid headline. It’s impossible to photograph a black hole.

The whole article is stupid on many levels.
Still don't accept the idea of a "size" for a black hole; the diameter of the event horizon only gives you the point where light is no longer able to escape gravity. The black hole itself has no diameter.

That said, I still insist scientists are grossly underestimating the mass of black holes in general.

Sure you can, since Isaac Newton invented gravity.
But you need a special camera that bends light.
