That doesn't necessarily make sense.

What doesn't make sense? The background is a physical painting commissioned by NASA to illustrate what an accretion disk might look like which I put into the space to replace the original spiral and not CGI.
As I said the colours may give it the impression of being CGI because early CG depictions of space (like B5) were very colourful.
I meant saying it's a painting and not CGI could be contradictory, as so much 'painting' nowadays is done on a computer. Painting isn't an exclusive term for canvas, a brush and paints is what I meant.
