If, like me, you have wondered about the strange form of the accretion "disk" shown around the black hole, here [1] is a video, showing that it is actually still a disk, which is distorted by gravity though.

Btw, little of the science besides the depiction of the wormhole and black hole is accurate. E.g. how they need massive amounts of fuel to get off from earth, but just use their tiny craft to launch twice into orbit from the two planets they visit, or how these "frozen clouds" just stay in the air.
