I suspect it's a measurement and not a photo. Something they could put on a chart but that's about it.

"Article I wrote but copied from somewhere else and left out most of the important information, images, video, etc.. and didn't link to the canonical source and then jumped to some conclusions or put a spin on it" is like a bread and butter staple of web journalism. Always frustrating, and so many publications have actively switched to making almost all their stories fit into that model.
