Black Hole Image Proves the Universe Is a Meme

The Russian internet was abuzz with awe as news that scientists had captured the very first image of a black hole made its rounds yesterday.

Five hundred million trillion kilometers away from earth, the black hole is said to be bigger than our entire solar system. That's big.

And where there is wonder, there are memes. Here are some of our favorites:

Plot twist: The entire universe lies in the eye of a bored bird. 

Life can be more exciting when you can't see right. 

What if within that black hole was another, and another, and another... 

When your life perspectives are as bleak as a giant black hole. 

Brace yourselves. 

Even God thinks your existence is a joke. 

Consider yourself warned: You've been noticed. 

We'll get better at this, for sure. 

That big donut in the sky. 

Press and hold to restart literally everything, ever. 

Oh, so that's where you left them.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
