You may’t see black holes. They absorb everything, even light. But you will see how things looks around them. In truth, you might be staring at one immediately: The supermassive black hole at the heart of galaxy M84,

M84 is within the Virgo Cluster of galaxies, 50 million light-years from Earth. This black hole has the mass of 300 million Suns. Scientists used Hubble Space Telescope’s Imaging Spectrograph to capture this zig zag shapes, which shows the ” rapid rotation of gas at the galaxy’s center” as it gets eaten by the greedy bastard.
