Will Frontier change the way Saggitarius A* looks and behaves after today's discovery?

TL:.DR: large number of scientists and research facilities along with Event Horizon Telescope after several years of research finally are going to reveal first ever pictures of the center of our galaxy's supermassive black hole, along with another black hole in the center of Messier 87 galaxy and gonna talk a lot of sciency stuff and details about what they managed to capture, analyze and how it affects our current understandings of TOR and things around us.

If something major is gonna break through (high possibility, yet lack of PR makes me wonder) will FDev update ingame looks and behaviour of the famous system?
Do they even aware of this stuff happening today?

New Photos of Sag A* Should Be Reflected In Elite!

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...

It will most likely contain some sort of visible event horizon images, along with flumes of ratiation blasting out of the black hole, all said is probably gonna be surrounded by gas clouds and lots of stars surrounding the center.

the light you see from a black hole is light that is bent around it and flung away it never really enters the event horizon
here this video explains it well

By looking at the bright area in its immediate vicinity.

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

Perhaps based on visual observations with numerous sorts and ammounts of data they would shed light on how black holes actually work.
That could lead to some mechanics change applied to all black holes in the game, possibly.
