      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.

    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.
