I was reading about a newly photographed supermassive black hole a few days ago. Right here is the hyperlink to the article that has a picture of the black hole.

Today, I saw the same picture of the black hole in one of the game backgrounds, in the lower right corner. Sadly, I forgot to take screenshots. Has anyone else noticed this easter egg?

As Erin Bow explains in the comments, the image above isn't actually new — it's from 2000.
