the woman isn't even an astronomer, she is some other discipline.
Also it isn't a photograph as such, it's a simulation of what they think a photo would look like

Every single photo ever has been exactly that. a simulation of what an object looks like based on the electromagnetic rays that are emitted from the object in the photo.

Not really, a photo and what your eye sees are based on the same principle of focusing reflected light on to a plane. you could say a representation of a 3D object on 2D media, but that is not a simulation.
This "photo" is not at all like that but is mainly comprised of guess work to match the few data points they were able to get.
