Listing of all known "black holes" produced by NASA / NSF and McDonald Observatory.

Great find, at least in the humor department. Hard to believe that they actually bothered to copyright this "encyclopedia". The "images of black holes" is kind of like titling a picture of the entire solar system as a picture of "Jim's neighborhood". Besides, the images do not show a single black hole, if anyone reads patiently through all this. Where they didn't have a suitable pretty photo available and apparently couldn't have an artist's view, they had a B&W ring with an empty central area. That artifice looks more like an artist's concept should be than the lovely color pictures strewn about.

Your Tax Dollars At Work.

Are you saying that NASA / NSF and McDonald Observatory produced all the known black holes- in their collective imaginations

It's an inside joke from the author- he's telling us this book doesn't really exist.
