@konstructivizm No, its simply one of the images from the short mission. Its an enhanced color image, so not what it looks like by eye. Just like enhanced color images can be created of Moon from Earth.

@konstructivizm No, its not.

@konstructivizm But after all that text, this is a fake video. A Full Moon is shown, so it should be directly at the anti solar point in the middle of the arc, not 42 degs away at the edge.
Its fake.

In 2023 JWST discovered some strange very distant "red dot" objects suspected to be early black holes surrounded by gas and dust.
A recent paper has confirmed these do appear to be supermassive black holes, but have formed Before their surrounding galaxy. This contradicts our previous understanding that SM BH's formed by assimilating stars and matter from centre of existing galaxies.
