@CuriosityonX A black hole itself doesn’t emit light. It’s literally a region where gravity is so strong that not even light escapes. So there’s nothing for your eyes to “pick up” directly.

The Left is so evil and violent that they started burning Teslas because they hated Elon Musk, openly threatening people who owned them These are the same people who scream about “saving the planet” and demand everyone switch to EVs. Yet the second the man who built the world's best electric cars refused to bow to their woke agenda, they started setting them on fire They don’t give a damn about the environment. They only care about punishing anyone who dares not to accept their twisted deranged reality Elon built the future with his own hands. They tried to burn it to the ground out of pure hatred This is who they are....Never forget it
