<p>A new image from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has uncovered strong and organised magnetic fields spiraling from the edge of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). Seen in polarised light for the first time, this new view of the monster lurking at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy has revealed a magnetic field structure strikingly similar to that of the black hole at the centre of the M87 galaxy, suggesting that strong magnetic fields may be common to all...

Astronomers released a new image of the black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, Sagittarius A*. It reveals the object's twisting magnetic fields.

Magnetic fields and hidden jets have been discovered near the Milky Ways supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, shedding new light on black holes.

Scientists have captured the first ever image of the magnetic field surrounding the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole.

A new view of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way obtained by the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration revealing its magnetic field structure suggests that the processes by which black holes feed and eject jets into their surroundings may be universal among black holes despite vast differences in size and mass.

Astronomers have for the first time imaged the powerful magnetic fields that dwell around the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*.

<p>A new series of observations by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration measuring the degree of polarization in the emitted light shows that the black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) in the center of our Milky Way is surrounded by strong, spiral-shaped magnetic fields. Such a magnetic structure is likely produced by the magnetized plasma that is falling onto Sgr A* and is similar to that of M87*, the black hole at the center of the galaxy M87. This important result suggests that al...

The latest Event Horizon Telescope image of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* reveals a powerful, swirling magnetic field.

The image showed Sgr A* in polarized light for the first time, revealing a magnetic field structure very similar to that of the M87* supermassive black hole.
