Name recently photographed black hole after Stephen Hawking

Name recently photographed black hole after Stephen Hawking

The Issue

Stephen Hawking was one of the most important scientists of XX and XXI centuries. His contribution to understanding of physics is invaluable.
Unfortunately, Stephen passed away a bit too early to see the very first actual image of a black hole, which was made recently.
I propose we name this black hole after it’s “father” in order to honour his input in modern science.

Name suggestion: “Stephen Hawking’s vacuity” 


This problem may be solved by the brilliant scientists who have something to do with this discovery.
