Spoiler, it's black.
bigger spoiler... I haven't been dragged into it, along with time and stuff.....
still...remarkable that humans can point enough "telescopes" up there and garner enough data that... we have an image of something that still feels... theoretical.
Borrowed from a tweet by Jim Al-khalili
A mass of 6.5 billion suns means that the M87 black hole is 38 billion kms across (a number you can work out for yourselves: r = 2GM/c^2) – that's over four times more than the diameter of the entire Solar System. That's one hell of a perforation in spacetime...

The part that bugs me is that a project designed to look for something, manages to find it by manipulating the data is specific ways to make it look like the thing they're looking for.
Feels almost arse about face really

This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!
I get what you mean but they didn't really manipulate the data, they wrote an algorithm that converted similarly distorted (low resolution?) data back into an image that was close to a known original image and then used that same algorithm on the new data they had.
It probably works in a similar manner as some types of anti-aliasing or Nvidia's DLSS.
Looks a little bit bleak tbh
