How do we know we are looking at magnetic field lines as opposed to, say for instance, gravity field lines? I ask because the Lagrange points seem to be present in the image - if I'm looking at it correctly, that is.

Well the only reason I said magnetic was because that's what they reminded me of because of science class. They could well be gravity lines or a combination of both. Frankly we have no idea which is correct.
It relates to the raw image by the fact that we zoomed in on the black hole (the bright spot in the center).
A friend of mine who I showed the image to said "I don't know whether to study it more closely or to look away and never look at it again." LOL
He was kinda spooked by it.
Further images not zoomed in so close show debris of the star systems orbiting it being shredded coming in and being swallowed -
Einstein's theories were converted to math equations by a fellow scientist presupposed there was only one event horizon.
Contemporaries of this mathematician, a pair of brothers, found different results and proposed 2 event horizons and further processing by our team appears to show they were right.
The neat thing about having 2 event horizons theoretically means you could enter through one horizon and exit through the other, thereby traversing a black hole to god knows where.
