Normally I avoid posting real-world news on Stars Uncounted like the plague, but I can make an exception when the first ever photographed Black Hole resembles the lidless eye.

"The image, of a lopsided ring of light surrounding a dark circle deep in the heart of the galaxy known as Messier 87, some 55 million light-years away from Earth, resembled the Eye of Sauron, a reminder yet again of the implacable power of nature. It is a smoke ring framing a one-way portal to eternity."
