It's a doorway opening to wonder, with light at the end of the tunnel we are escaping.

That's a no-brainer. They should be using a square lens. Every picture of a kaleidoscope that I've ever seen was a square. Not even a rectangle, got to be a square.

Perhaps this is a distortion by a gravity lens.
OR...it is not natural.

It actually looks like a pyramid. You can distinctly see the top and bottom sides with a horizontal line halfway between the square and the bottom of the pyramid. The vertical sides are inferred from the top and bottom sides.

That's the kind of thing you'd see if something molten red hot was squeezing it's way to our side of a square ductwork tube in the heavens.
