"The image gives the first direct glimpse of a black holes accretion disk, a fuzzy doughnut-shaped ring of gas and dust that steadily feeds the monster within."A black hole has spherical characteristics - it is a sphere. A doughnut is flat in one plane. A sphere can't have a doughnut "around" it. It may very well be that an image of the system may look like a doughnut from a single observation point far away. However, the actual 'ring of gas' cannot be a doughnut that just 'happens' to be perpendicular to our observation point. It must actually be a 'sphere of gas'.

According to the illustration, it would be a disc, not a sphere. Which begs a lot of questions about the photo.

A sphere can't have a doughnut "around" it.Sure it can; stick the munchkin back in the hole. But it will be around it only in one plane.
