It's still early, but I think I'd like to see pertinent graphics changes to the presentation of Elite's black holes and Sag A* in particular with respect to accretion discs when the first-ever photos of Sag A* are released to the public tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. EDT (Eastern Time, North America). What say the rest of you???
New Photos of Sag A* Should Be Reflected In Elite!

Now I'm going to check if your avatar is an accurate representation of Ross 613, if there isn't there will be a riot...

I do not at all expect these photo's to have the visual information that is needed to warrant graphical changes in ED.

Yeah this wouldn't look nice in the game, although the game's representation is not far off.

And not only in black holes... Accretion discs should be in many places... Sagittarius A should not be visitable in EliteD
at the moment, because in reality it is a star system very different from all others...
Since our ship's canopy does not afford us a view in the "wavelength of 1.3 mm" (about 230GHz) then your in-game view would not look like the EHT's "bagel".
Plus, ofc, the image isn't Sag A*, they haven't done that one yet....
You all have this backwards. The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics needs to fix their image of the black hole. I've been to Sagittarius A and it doesn't look anything like that fuzzy image they're showing. A black hole looks like this
It's located in the heart of distant galaxy Messier 87 and are estimated to be about 1000 times the size of SagA*
Yeah, one of the scientists was saying that they expect Sag A* to be different, it rotates way faster (as it's smaller), ooking forward to seeing what they come up with - I though there were issues in that there's half a galaxy between us & itIt's located in the heart of distant galaxy Messier 87 and are estimated to be about 1000 times the size of SagA*
Can't wait for the first real image of SagA*, even if I love the look of it in EDYeah, one of the scientists was saying that they expect Sag A* to be different, it rotates way faster (as it's smaller), ooking forward to seeing what they come up with - I though there were issues in that there's half a galaxy between us & it
Gah, that made me look at your avatar. I don't know if you've noticed it, but it's been resized in the new forum, and now it's blurry and I can't unsee it!
The released image isn't so helpful for updating the game, but it's still great because it matches the simulations well enough to confirm that our models are pretty correct. But obviously the simulations run at much higher resolution, and you don't have to blur them to match the telescope resolution.
