Black holes and other anomalies - but not for this image damn it!

  • Southlander by Southlander

    I did see a black hole in about 30 ago - I didn't know this here was available with the image I was currently on. I sat looking at it and just carried on.

    Have you seen one? Hey it may not have been one .. but it sure looked like one - I will take a screen shot of the next one - or any other anomaly I see

    Hi Southlander--What a mess at 1.15 microns! Indeed, these surveys do sometimes contain images that have been marred by specks of dust on the mirrors and on the detector and in photographic plates. We can't see actual black holes. But dust specks--you bet!
