The first ever image of the black hole has surfaced, and while Chris Cornell fans are petitioning to name the black hole after the late Soundgarden singer, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has another hilarious idea for a name.
Taylor joked on Twitter, “Its name is… The Ex.”
The Chris Cornell petition states, “‘Black Hole Sun’,’ written by Chris Cornell is without a doubt Soundgarden’s most recognizable and most popular song, and one of the biggest anthems of the 90’s.
For this reason, and the impact Chris Cornell had in the lives of so many and music itself, I ask NASA, the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration and all the astronomers and scientists involved in this discovery, to name this black hole after Chris Cornell. This would be a ‘surreal’ and amazing way to honor his life and his contribution to music. I hope this petition is taken into consideration and with the respect with which it was created to honor a man loved by many. Thanks to all who sign, I hope we can achieve it!”
Chris Cornell’s daughter Toni said about the black hole, “It’s as if he always knew. ‘Its powerful gravity bends the fabric of space and time around it, and its violent moods determine when and where new stars can form in the galaxy.’ via @latimes #blackholesun #chriscornell

Its name is… The Ex. https://t.co/hU0BrigAfJ
