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

Astronomers captured the most detailed image of the supermassive black hole that sites in the center of our Milky Way, revealing stunning orange swirls around the edge of 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 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.

The Gaia space telescope has discovered two ancient stellar streams woven through the heart of the Milky Way, which were present 12 billion years ago.

Paris, France (SPX) Mar 22, 2024 - ESAs Gaia space telescope has made a interesting discovery in the history of the Milky Way by identifying two ancient star streams, Shakti and Shiva, which played a crucial role in the formation of

Romano, a 2016 Johnstown High School graduate, stopped by her alma mater on Thursday to speak to current students about the balancing act of being a pageant queen and engineer. She emphasized the importance of STEM education and using available resources to find the best path. On Friday, she’ll do the same at Canajoharie High School.

Johnstown native, Miss USA 2022 Morgan Romano visited her alma mater to talk about STEM education to current high schoolers.
