When I read the news for the first time today I thought it was some kind of joke. I looked on other news website and it seems that is no joke: today is the day a picture of a black hole will be released to the public. The press conference is expected at 15:00 CET here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr20f19czeE

Clear skies,

Andrea

If ever there was a unanimous decision for IOTD, surely it should be today!

Press conference was amazing. The people operating the EHT (and all associated telescopes, arrays and the supercomputers) can be really proud. Well done, mankind!

I tried to get Salvatore to put it up as an IOTD the day it was released, certainly as a special case.  But alas, he said if EHT released the data (all 5 petabytes???) and someone processed it and posted the image, only then would the image be considered for an IOTD.  Personally, I thought it deserved special treatment
