All 30 Seasons of The Simpsons Coming to Disney+ at Launch
The Simpsons is officially coming to the Disney+ streaming service, with all 30 seasons available on day one.
This was announced with a short featuring The Simpsons, where Homer says "Homer Simpson here, proud addition to Disney - I for one applaud our new corporate overlord,

The shot includes various homages to Disney and the Fox merger, including balloons with “Fox” covered by tape, a “Welcome Synergy” banner on top of The Simpsons’ house, a statue of Disney CEO Bob Iger, a signed picture of Fox's Rupert Murdoch (in the trash), and a statue of Darth Vader.

Who Is Katie Bouman, the Woman Behind the First Black Hole Photo?
In 2016, Katie Bouman, a then-Ph.D. candidate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, presented a TEDx Talk on how to take a picture of a black hole, outlining a method that uses complex algorithms to accurately reconstruct images from far, far away. Now, three years later, mankind has its first-ever image of a black hole, thanks to those same algorithms developed by Bouman and her team.
The image, released yesterday by the Event Horizon Telescope project, provides the "first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow." It's an image years in the making — one that required a global network of eight telescopes and an international team of over 200 astronomers, physicists, mathematicians, and engineers.
