...Dude. We photographed a black hole like a year ago.

Yes but no, the Black hole photograph was more of an interpretation of data. Pictures like this are actual photographs.

Photographs are interpretations of data. That one was made with a composite image from a telescope the size of the planet, with an exposure time of an entire year.

I swear people think cameras are magic or something.

Everything is an interpretation. The concept of color doesn't even exist outside of our brains.

How did this get taken? Is it like a camera drone came out of the lander?

Yes. It deployed two actually.

Ah, seems like they've somehow gotten hold of my Kerbal Space Program screenshots.

Well look at you landing all in one piece!
