I suspect it's a measurement and not a photo. Something they could put on a chart but that's about it. There's interesting ideas for imaging exo-planets that involve a fleet of satellites past pluto that use the gravity lens of the sun as their lens. A system like that could get an image of an exo-planet.

  This intrigued me so I found an article describing this idea: https://news.stanford.edu/press-releases/2022/05/02/gravity-telescope-image-exoplanets/ https://news.stanford.edu/press-releases/2022/05/02/gravity-...

  good old Space Time has a pretty good video on this https://youtu.be/4d0EGIt1SPc https://youtu.be/4d0EGIt1SPc and it might even be possible and more feasible to use planets https://youtu.be/F9S21HqfNR0 https://youtu.be/F9S21HqfNR0 and even earth https://youtu.be/jgOTZe07eHA https://youtu.be/jgOTZe07eHA as lenses

    The illusion of moving through the galaxies is strong despite the lack of parallax, especially with one eye covered.

  The lensing in that is just so incredible.

Which is really all I want to see. A picture and a paragraph describing it.

"Article I wrote but copied from somewhere else and left out most of the important information, images, video, etc.. and didn't link to the canonical source and then jumped to some conclusions or put a spin on it" is like a bread and butter staple of web journalism. Always frustrating, and so many publications have actively switched to making almost all their stories fit into that model.
