Default Photo of a Black Hole's Event Horizon Appears To Be a Success

" The mass of data collected is now being sent to two supercomputers in the US and Germany..."

" The level of detail it provides is like being able to count the stitches on a baseball from 8,000 miles away. "

" Around one petabyte of data has been collected. To put that into perspective, a petabyte of MP3 songs would play continuously for more than 2,000 years without repeating. (Nope, no AAer has storage for that)
