A Peek at a Black Hole

A black hole has at last been seen
By telescope in an array,
A picture compiled that does mean
It is, even though far away,
In the Virgo constellation.
M87 is its name,
Billions times bigger than the sun.
The hole is black as was the claim.
All that come close, apparently,
Is swallowed up into the hole.
No one knows why it came to be,
Or what will be its future role.

So far as concerns us on Earth,
No black hole's near for what its worth.
