Eintstein Was Right, Again

Astronomers have revealed the first ever image of a black hole, taken with a radio telescope array spanning the Earth.

Details are published in a series of papers in a special issue of The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Update: Here's a good explanation of the truly weird behaviour of light around a black hole.
