So, this is what a black hole looks like

After a decade long attempt, it’s finally happened. We now have the first real image of a black hole. It’s not as majestic as the one in Interstellar but it’s still an impressive feat nonetheless. The snapshot was taken of a supermassive black hole in the Messier 87 galaxy, which is around 55 million light years away. It’s a massive one indeed as its mass is 6.5 billion times that of our Sun. What was captured was the “shadow” created as the event horizon bends and sucks in light.

To get the image, it took eight existing high-altitude telescopes to reach an angular resolution that’s enough to capture what’s considered a relatively compact object (at “just” 24.9 billion miles across) at an extreme distance. There was a need to synchronize atomic clocks and use supercomputers to combine petabytes of raw data from the telescopes. In the future, we’re expected to see and learn more with the Event Horizon Telescope adding the Greenland Telescope, IRAM NOEMA Observatory, and Kitt Peak Telescopes joining the array.

Dropbox tests Google Docs integration in its app

Dropbox and Google have partnered to help make their products work better together. Now, we’re seeing one of the results of this partnership. Dropbox Business customers can be part of an open beta program that will let them edit Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides right from Dropbox app. It works similar to the Microsoft Office/Dropbox integration where you can create new Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides files right from within Dropbox. The interface will be the same as what you get if you use Google, but if you want to stay within Dropbox, this lets you do so. It can help with collaboration, or at least, give Dropbox users more options to create or edit files in its service.

The integration also has these files showing up on your PC or Mac if you have the Dropbox app installed. It’ll also let you search for files without being limited to file name. You can search in the text. And, if you prefer, you can open Microsoft Office files in Google’s tools. The edits will be synced to the original file and the document type will be preserved so you can still choose to open it in Office if you want to. Dropbox’s native sharing tools are also available for Google Docs. So, when you click the share button in a Google file saved in Dropbox, you have the option to share two links. One grants edit access and the other just read only. You can also protect files to just be viewable within your organization. The feature will be coming to other Dropbox users later this year.
