There’s a good Video from Kip Thorne showing why the “real” images differ from the idealized one that made much fanfare in Interstellar

(Edit) to add that it’s about 22minutes in.

Hey that’s amazing; thanks.

My comments was more about the culturally idealised images we have in mind rather than criticising the work and the tech (far from it actually, but given the downvotes I might have not expressed myself really clearly -> apologies to anyone who felt bad/sad about what i wrote).

I really appreciate the small animation you pointed at 22min.
