I tried, but didn’t understand a word of it ? https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/72824/what-is-the-shape-of-a-black-hole

Wouldn’t the shape of the event horizon be determined by the shape of the mass acting on it - in other words the shape of the black hole (which cannot have shape if it is a singularity - so back to square 1 ? ).

The second promoted comment on this article suggests that it should appear the same, regardless of the point of view of the observer. I don’t really follow the explanation though. https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/04/event-horizon-telescope-gives-us-first-images-of-what-its-named-for/

If it is elliptical because of its spin, then it would imply it has volume. A singularity, however, cannot have volume. ?

It has been described as “perfectly circular”, but to me it looks elliptical, or possibly even ‘egg-shaped’. Has anyone seen any discussion on that aspect?
