In a historic feat of mankind, scientists captured the first image of a black hole in 2019 piercing through space to reach the heart of the massive galaxy Messier 87 where the supermassive black hole, M87* lies. Located about 55 million light-years away from Earth, the image of the black hole has created history, but it was not similar to Christopher Nolan’s depiction of the epic visual of the same.

Nobel-winning theoretical physicist Kip Thorne was assigned to formulate the near-perfect visual of a black hole. Interestingly, the general mass did not have any idea of how the monstrous space giant was supposed to look. Surprisingly, Nolan and Thorne, with the visual effects team, created the astounding near-accurate black hole before the image of M87* was released.

Emile Hirsch keeps himself busy these days, but he’s not always making movies. The 31-year-old actor recently finished the first draft of a novel, completed a screenplay, and spends a lot of time painting still lifes in his backyard.
Meanwhile, he’s acting in a wider range of projects than ever before. A versatile performer known for immersing himself in his roles, he currently stars opposite Brian Cox in the minimalist horror-drama “The Autopsy of Jane Doe,” opening December 21, and has a range of projects — from a buddy comedy with Jk Simmons to a sweeping China-set period drama with an otherwise Asian cast—scheduled for 2017.
“The work itself is the goal,” he said, settling into Brooklyn eatery Sisters after a long day promoting “Jane Doe” in Manhattan. He was in the midst of a monthlong break from the novel, following the advice of Stephen King’s “On Writing,” his favorite guidebook.
