Is it fair to compare this low-res photo to the render? I think they'll be prettier once we have better telescopes.

it's not about fairness, that's what we see currently.

What if "what we see" is not accurate of how it actually looks and works? I think the math behind it would have a more accurate way to describe how it looks and works, which is what the render does.
