And the NASA press release:

https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2023/hubble-sees-possib...

Not sure what the deal is with this hubblesite.org…

Edit: Ah ok, interesting… It’s entirely legit. The “about us” page says the website is produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute (https://www.stsci.edu).

Yeah, STScI is very legitimate (I work there as an astronomer) and it has an excellent Office of Public Outreach team.

The graphic does specify that it is an illustration, but I agree that it could explicitly mention that it's an artist's rendition of the (authors' physical interpretation) of the astronomical observations.
