      Yes but no, the Black hole photograph was more of an interpretation of data. Pictures like this are actual photographs.

        Photographs are interpretations of data. That one was made with a composite image from a telescope the size of the planet, with an exposure time of an entire year.

        I swear people think cameras are magic or something.
