EU-funded researchers released the first ever picture of a black hole, using the Event Horizon Telescope.
The international collaboration produced a fiery, donut shaped image of the black hole, in the M87 galaxy. The supermassive black hole has a mass that is 6.5 billion times that of our sun.
Meanwhile, the domain name Blackhole.com should be getting lots of interest – if only it were active.
Registered in 1995, Blackhole.com does not resolve, and neither does its DNS system, hosted on BHI.com. We have no idea why such a premium, dictionary word domain is offline.
That’s a lot of lost traffic due to the monumental announcement of actually having photographed a black hole, one of the biggest mysteries of the known cosmos – almost as big as why doesn’t GoDaddy add usernames to its domain auctions.
