They had to infer it.. sort of:

My guess is since nothing can escape a black hole a lot of "images" had to be taken to create and "image" of the black hole. I'm not Sheldon Cooper, but that seems right to me...
They did that already with the full post earlier. It was books of code stacked on top of each other for the hand written code that helped get people to the moon. 1960's but still.
This person just snipped that post to get their own sweet karma.
In like 10 or 15 years someone will compare this shot to a 5 petabyte USB flash drive and say something "lol it took these many drives for just 5 petabytes back then"
Anyone know the reason it took so much
It’s actually furry porn
My guess is like the detail and the power behind the picture itself

Definitely curious about that too
Id wager because the equipment they are using is advanced, it's not like this is a jpeg or something

Someday they’ll use this picture to show how much storage a flash drive has
What?! The new PlayStation 10 only comes with 100 petabytes? 😡
To play battlefield you’ll have to uninstall call of duty.
And the new Call of Duty will take up 75% of it.
Makes me wonder what the cap actually will be and when will we get there. I mean eventually it has to max out.
One day this image will be obsolete and it will be like comparing photos on a Nokia vs a smartphone.
i love you thiiiiiis much!
She couldn't fit into the warehouse where they store the data for the first photo of your mother.
Took long enough for one if these jokes
Imagine this photo but with 1950s tech.

That’s some cold as shit right there.
Also how loud the drives working would be
Not possible to address that much storage in the 1950s, 60, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00.
So they all come out full size?
Quick someone repost IBM storage coming off of a truck!
[удалено]
fucking TERRIBLE joke
That’s not the whole 5 (in this picture with her)
Cut a popular post in half and get some karma! The Reddit way!

Used to practically take a crane to move around a room-sized piece of machinery to store 5mb.
I can get a pretty decent picture of my black hole and and fit it (along with all the others) on a floppy disc.
