People talked about this a lot when it first happened. This is over 7 years old now. Kinda old news.
yeah, i think for people who even have a passing interest in science this was a pretty popular topic.
Now compare that to the age of the black hole.
Well it was huge news when it came out. But a shit ton has happened since then
It’s probably sucks
So does your mom!
Because of the mess you made, she has to vacuum everything for you, lazy bastard.
Also because she has mass.
Wait but it was being talked about a lot, right? It was even being memed
Yeah, a couple of years ago.
Does OP expect things to stay relevant for that long? In this economy?
Don’t worry, some of us are keeping the astronomy spirit alive in the younger generation. There’s a 5 year old kid I work with who can name tons of celestial objects that my coworkers have never heard of. It makes for fun inside jokes/references. Sometimes when we’re with another person, he’ll compare our distances to each other and say, “You’re Alpha Centauri A, I’m Alpha Centauri B, and he/she’s Proxima Centauri.”

Nice. Also, very appropriate username :)
This feels like it was a whole lifetime ago…
(Does that count as a photograph, though …)
As usual, trying to suck all the air out of the room.
Do you have proof humanity on earth was the first one to take a photograph?
Also how does the black hole know? Did you send them a message? Is the message already there yet?
Looks kind of like an eclipse.
