The prize will be split between the 347 scientists that worked on the ground-breaking project, which produced the very first image of a black hole. The data behind the image -- which could confirm or at least pose significant questions about our understanding of the universe -- was equivalent to the number of selfies 40,000 people could take in their lifetimes.
According to project director Shep Doeleman, the breakthrough image only marks the beginning of a black hole's media moments....Indeed, the team is already working on the processing the data needed to produce the first...video of a black hole, which could be revealed next year.

Give me a break. If you can take a picture of it, it’s by definition not a black hole.
