On Wednesday, 10th April 2019, a groundbreaking scientific discovery was made. The National Science Foundation and the Event Horizon Telescope in America revealed the first recorded image of a black hole.
They originally shared the photo on the social media handles of the foundation. But it has now become a sensation on the internet, from the media eating it up to social media making jokes about it.
Twitter and Reddit users likened the image to a lot of thing on Twitter and Reddit. Here are some of our favourite ones:

Even Pepsi used it as an opportunity to advertise its brand. Typical of brands to take advantage of something so huge.
