The incredible first image of a black hole proves the power of science, according to former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino. “It has been theoretically, mathematically proven that they exist,” Massimino told Fox News’ Bill Hemmer during an interview Thursday. Now, however, a global team of researchers has finally captured an image of a black hole, revealing the distant object in stunning detail. “It’s great to see how science can make that prediction,” Massimino said. “Einstein came up with most of these predictions 100 years ago.”The black hole was spotted in galaxy Messier 87 (M87) that is 55 million light-years away.
