  Those pictures are "false" color and detail. They in no way represent what you would see with your eyes if you were standing right in front of the object. Some of them are even manipulated by artists that add things to them. What you are seeing are a subset of radio waves being represented as human vision color in a non-linear way with additional artistic details.

      Most people don't realize this, especially the general public.
