Powehi - The Black Hole

Image
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a network of radio antennae around the globe, has captured the first image of a black hole event horizon. That's right, folks, they turned the earth into one giant telescope to capture the what seemed to be the uncapturable. Here it is, the mighty black hole situated at the heart of the Messier 87 galaxy as captured on 10th April, 2019. Stephen Hawking would be proud. The image above shows an intensely bright 'Ring of Fire', as Prof Falcke describes it, surrounding a perfectly circular dark hole. The bright halo is caused by super-heated gas falling into the hole. The light is brighter than all the billions of other stars in the galaxy combined - which is why it can be seen at such distance from Earth.

This lead to the formation of one of the best bands of all time. Queen came into existence after Freddie and bassist John Deacon joined Roger and Brian on 1st March, 1971. The band was to stay together for the next 20 years. Reaching the Top The rest is rock history. EMI Records and Elektra Records signed the band. In 1973, their debut album ‘Queen’ was released and hailed as one of the most exciting developments ever in rock music. Queen didn't take long to reach the top.
