I regularly drive through a black hole on I-95...it's called Bridgeport (CT).
To: Red Badger
There are no direct views of black holes.

This is 2017 - manufacturing evidence is perfectly acceptable, guys. Try Photoshop.

It sounds to me like they are looking for the shadow.

Let’s hope the camera doesn’t get sucked in...
Seriously, though, I wonder where things (well, light mostly, I suppose) go after they disappear into a black hole. Do they become quasars?
I’m not a scientist and took my “Physics for Poets” class decades ago in college. :)

Holly: Well, the thing about a black hole - its main distinguishing feature - is it’s black. And the thing about space, the colour of space, your basic space colour, is black. So how are you supposed to see them?
Rimmer: But five of them? . How can you manage to miss five black holes?
Holly: It’s always the way, innit? You hang around for three million years in deep space and there hasn’t been one, then all of a sudden five turn up at once.

For those holding their breath:
“Last to arrive will be the data from the South Pole, which is just entering the long, dark winter season and where planes will not arrive to pick it up until November.
At the earliest, then, it will likely be December before the team knows exactly what it has. If they have succeeded, the first direct image of a black holes event horizon will come soon after that.”

They get squished into an unimaginably small spot. The spaces between atoms’ nuclei and their orbiting electrons becomes nonexistent, so that they lose all identity as elements. They just become ‘mass’ in it’s purest form........................
