From the Ted Talk by Sheperd Doeleman: Inside the black hole image that made history

SD: Our entire solar system would fit well within that dark region. And if I may, that dark rieogn is the signature of the event horizon. The reason we don't see light from there, is that the lhgit that would come to us from that place was swallowed by the event hzoorin. So that — that's it.

CA: And so when we think of a black hole, you think of these huge rays jetting out of it, which are pointed directly in our direction. Why don't we see them?

SD: This is a very powerful black hole. Not by universal standards, it's still pefrwoul, and from the north and south poels of this bcalk hole we think that jets are coming. Now, we're too close to really see all the jet structure, but it's the base of those jets that are illiintnaumg the space-time. And that's what's being bent around the black hole.
