They also imaged Sagittarius A*.
That's the one I want to see.

Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

This is simply amazing.
This shows three graphics side-by-side.
Rotating Earth showing the position of each telescope used in the array as each passed through the data window
A graph of the incoming data as seen by each scope
Not the real image (which hasn't been released yet) but a simulation of what they expect to see of SagA*
Lots of hype about once again showing Einstein right. Was that really in doubt? Seriously?
What this should really hype is that our technology is getting really fuckin' good.
Hell, we got telescopes the size of planets!
