explain how must act in such extreme conditions which could verify all contradict for example albert einstein's theory of relativity. so to explain that for us i'm joined now by. science desk thanks so much for joining us tell me why these images of a black hole are such a big deal haven't scientists known what black holes looked like for a long time well no they haven't which is great enough because it was widely except that that holds do it exists but there was no proof so far so everything we saw so far west simulations it was no real image and now this is the first real image it's the proof also of their existence i was so excited that i even dreamt about lycos tonight it's really a big step in. and then signs in general and in our knowledge about the universe ok stay where you are we'll talk more in a moment first we're going to take more of a look at what black holes actually ah and why people say fascinated by them. black holes they're like cosmic vacuum cleaner sucking up anything that comes too close and the matter that crosses the so-called event horizon is then gone forever. black ho

which could verify or contradict for example albert einstein's theory of relativity no small matter. all right let's discuss everything now with my colleague from the science desk later we finally now know we're glad call a looks like i thought scientists already had simulations of black holes explain to us please the significance of this particular picture well it seems funny but it's really beautiful i love it if you've dreamt about like both the night because i was so excited it's really huge it's quite huge i mean it was widely accepted that black holes exist but no one had ever seen one and now it's the first real image that that's there. and as i think the whole community is now really excited there was a difficulty of course we observed that now this is this is from the galaxy m eighty seven which was observed the black hole at the center of this galaxy is fifty five million light years away from earth and we can see the whole itself of course the dark the black hole is stark and it's invisible by definition so what we see is actually the event horizon which is the point of no

this historic photo, picture, helps confirm a theory that first arrived from the equations of albert einstein. before this we only had illustrations like this. >> black hole are one of the strangest phenomenon in the universe. it has so much mass that nothing can escape, not even light. getting this image took $28 million, a decade, and eight massive telescopes around the world. they were linked together and worked in yunsunison to record data. that black hole is really massive, six billion times larger than our son. >> pretty cool stuff. up next at 6:30, did spies track the trump campaign? revelations by the attorney general as he answers more questions about the mueller report. >>> and why crab fisherman are putting away their pods in less than a week. each morning, people wake. and smile, when they see the sun. not that one. this one. it makes knowing when to take your prescriptions clear as day. up to fifty percent of people don't take them properly. so at cvs pharmacy we got up early and built a system that helps calculate each person's ideal schedule. it's great for doctors. and caregiv

since. 20 years later, two of the leading figures of 20th century intellectual life, russell and albert einstein issued an appeal to the people of the world, calling on them to face a choice that is stark and dreadful and inescapeable, shall we put an end to the human race or shall mankind renounce war? they recognized, of course, that war can very quickly turn into terminal nuclear war. atomic the bulletin of scientists established its famous doomsday clock, setting it seven minutes to midnight, midnight is the end. last january, it was advanced to three minutes before midnight. that's a threat level that had not been reached for 30 years at a grim moment to which all return. the accompanying explanation invoked the two major threats to human survival, nuclear weapons and unchecked climate change. the call condemned world leaders who are endangering every person on earth by failing to perform their most important duty, ensuring and preserving the health and vitality of human civilization. the russell-einstein appeal differs from the current declaration in two crucial respects. one is that it di
