A question on this if you know more about black holes: The article suggests that due to Doppler effect, one side should be asymmetrically brighter than the other. This image seems to show a really large asymmetry (this is specifically called out in the article as how Interstellar movie does not depict an accurate image). However, the actual photo taken recently doesn't seem to show that much of an asymmetry. Any idea why?
