Unlike the typical "hole in space" trope, Gargantua is a swirling accretion disk of light and gas, wrapping around the sphere of the event horizon. The imagery was so scientifically accurate that it actually contributed to academic physics, resulting in published papers on gravitational lensing. interstellar
