This image is polarization lines drawn over the original to attempt to give more detail. You can see the original behind it

From the article:

The lines mark the orientation of polarization, which is related to the magnetic field around the shadow of the black hole.

One of my worst pet peeves is people claiming renders from scientific data are the same as a photograph. Amazing how I figured it out in highschool and I'm still seeing headlines banking on this misconception.

A digital photograph is also a render from data, change my mind.

And inside is a single planet that defies logic, and on that planet is God with a capital G. He wants a starship to escape the planet and can be killed by a few photon torpedoes.

Or if you go back a little farther, inside is a planet where magic is real run by the actual Lucifer and Asmodeus.
