This is an image rendered from photons that had passed around the black hole, and travelled to Earth and been captured by a radio telescope that humans built.

It's the first time that's been done.

All the images in the DDG search are artistic constructions.

Edit: The thing that's so remarkable is that it does look like what scientists predicted it would look like, and thus some of those artistic representations are similar to what we're now seeing in this image.
