By the way, we should call this black hole the EVE Gate

This is pretty much how you die in a black hole.

You probably needed to know who Dr Katie Bouman is and what her contribution to the creation of that image was before making that comment.  
“played a major part in this discovery” is a rather modest description for her achievements.

I understand her contribution, which is why I liked her response response a lot more than the media representation of her, describing it as a team effort that no one person was responsible for.

While I agree that female inclusivity when earned is important, I dont like female representation for the sake of propping up women as if they are oppressed or somehow need to be aggressively pushed because they dont get credit.
