The first photo of a black hole was released this week.
This week, the world was surprised by something new: for the first time, a photo of a black hole was taken.
The reaction was huge, and Chris Cornell quickly saw a connection to the song "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden , one of the group's most iconic songs.
Together, they created an online petition to name the black hole in honor of Cornell, who passed away in 2017.
“We lost Chris almost two years ago,” wrote the fan responsible for the petition, “He was one of the most beloved figures not only in rock, but in all of music, by people all over the world. His songs, his voice, and his personality inspired, influenced, changed, and even saved the lives of thousands of people. He left a legacy in music for the next generation.”
