- davesque 9y agoNo. There is literally no high-res image in existence of the lack of light effected by a black hole's event horizon. Any cool-looking picture of light apparently warping around some unseen object, gas jets shooting out of a black ball, or any other depiction of any fidelity is an artist's impression at this point. Currently, there is a project underway (http://eventhorizontelescope.org/ http://eventhorizontelescope.org/) coordinating the efforts of many different researchers with the goal of resolving the event horizon of a black hole. This project would only produce an image that most people would still call extremely blurry. But it would be the first legitimate image of the characteristic visual features of a black hole.
