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

As massive as NGC 4889 seems, The Great Attractor must be many, many orders of magnitude larger.

Maybe Hubble tracked 2016 Jeb Bush donations and the trail led them to it........

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.

So just how will this help us solve our problems here on Earth, the only planet we can live on?

It’s sad that Oprah has fallen so far as to resort to such tawdry things.

I have to hand it to our crew at FR - most have such a dry sense of humor - I love it LOL
To: TexasCajun
Well, according to our best estimates, the supermassive black hole is roughly 21 billion times the size of the Sun, and its event horizon (an area so dense and powerful that light can't escape its gravity) measures 130 billion kilometers in diameter. I think I know where all the socks that vanish from dryers are going.
