Yes, I like that idea. The problem is it would have to be made from scratch to avoid copyright issues, which would be quite a big job... Also, what is that ring across the centre? Is that scientifically accurate?

Sorry for the late reply. I think both rings are scientifically accurate.

I think the horizontal (diagonal) disk along the center is the direct, front view of the accretion disk / photon sphere. The perpendicular disk is an image from the back / bottom of the accretion disk/photon sphere that is visible directly to us because of the space-time warping effect of gravity.

Check this out, they explain it much more in-depth:

I know we can't take the chance but do you think someone would bother with copyright issues for the black hole depiction in the movie ?

It's already on countless websites and I don't really think most of them purchased the rights.

Nevertheless it would be much safer to use a rendered image inspired by the movie and available for free.

Anyway, I wanted to say THANK YOU for creating these maps. The level of immersion you achieved is unparalleled.

No problem, glad you enjoy the maps. I will look into the black hole background. I am actively trying out some other ideas, so I probably will add more backgrounds to this mod at some point....
