The famous black-hole image actually shows its shadow

The dark center in the Event Horizon Telescope's famous black-hole images is a shadow made by the black hole blocking and bending light around it. It is not a direct picture of the event horizon itself.

A stable black hole has only three measurable traits

3 measurable properties

According to the no-hair theorem, a black hole that has settled into a stable state can be described by only three measurable properties: its mass, electric charge, and spin.

Quantum teleportation does not make a copy

Quantum teleportation moves the state of a quantum object using shared entanglement, a measurement, and ordinary information. The original state is destroyed while the same state is created elsewhere. There are never two copies of it at the same time.
