A photo of a small, fiery circular shape floating in blackness will go down in history as the first photo of a black hole. It might not look like much, but this is the first time humans are getting a glimpse into one of nature\u2019s greatest mysteries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You may have looked at the blurry image and wondered, \u201cIt looks like a lopsided donut that\u2019s on fire. \u201c It\u2019s possible that you expected more gamma rays and cosmic explosions, or maybe you saw something very familiar…maybe, you saw the Firefox logo.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you looked at the photo, <\/a>unable to think of anything else besides Firefox, there are some excellent reasons why.<\/p>\n

The Firefox logo<\/a> is a vibrant orange-red with a high-energy feel. The tail of the logo is flame-like. It represents a mythical fire that burns in the tail of a magical creature. It\u2019s an emblem that stands for the hidden power and speed of Firefox Quantum.<\/p>\n

Like the logo, the first photo of a black hole is bursting with warm colors. You can see a fiery tail that thickens around the circle. The corona of the black hole represents incredible speed. Things move so fast that you\u2019d have to travel faster than the speed of light to escape it past the event horizon.<\/p>\n

While the Firefox web browser isn\u2019t as fast as one of the most powerful forces in the universe, it\u2019s still pretty good. The Firefox logo represents speeds that are two times faster than before, and using 30 percent less memory than Google Chrome.<\/p>\n

So, if you looked at that first image of a black hole and thought, \u201cFirefox,\u201d now you know why.<\/p>\n

Learn more about the Firefox logo<\/a> and how it had evolved. Then download<\/a> the latest version of Firefox. It’s fast, private and on your side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
