A couple problems here:

  1. The image resolution isn’t high enough for a banana to be visible at this scale.
  2. This isn’t the Milky Way (it’s impossible to take a picture from outside our own galaxy), so bananas do not exist there. This means the banana would have to be photoshopped in, in which case you might as well photoshop a map scale.

Nice picture, but I call BS 🤔

Edit: Omg, I forgot to mention the most obvious giveaway. Our supermassive black hole doesn’t have a quasar! Busted!
