A sphere. The event horizon is spherical, as I noted previously.

I thought about this on the way into work ... and I realize my wording is not great and in fact I realize that they may not be the same after all. From our vantage point the EH is really the singularity because a more defined singularity can never be created.
Now a sphere ... hmmm ... I cant picture this sphere. the sphere would have 0 volume but is not a point. It needs to have 0 volume because space is fully compacted at the event horizon. But it has a radius ... I agree with that . How does that work. I can envision a circle ( kind of like a projection of the EH ) that circle would have 0 thickness but oddly enough be a circle from any vantage point. However I cant picture a sphere with 0 volume. Please elaborate.
