I read it, but I didn’t understand it, really.

My understanding (as a layman) is that a theoretical model has been developed which is able to predict the positions of the individual quarks within an at-rest atomic nucleus. Pretty cool!

Thank you! So the image - is an illustration? I wasn’t clear on that either.

Pretty sure that's the case and it's just a deliberately misleading clickbait headline. The article and the paper both don't reference anything about creating an actual image.
