The first simulated image of a black hole was calculated with an IBM 7040 computer using 1960 punch cards and hand-plotted by French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet in 1978.

@TheJen I wish to be any years younger than I am now. Lol

@mintyfresh @aprilfollies you're telling me we knew what blackholes looked like back in 1978 but it took until Interstellar for the first realistic depiction to show up on screen??? ugh.

@mintyfresh I think we forget just how much was achieved long before Intel architecture :-)
