Astronomers have discovered powerful magnetic fields spiralling around the black hole that sits at the centre of the Milky Way, the European Southern Observatory said Wednesday."What we're seeing now is that there are strong, twisted, and organised magnetic fields near the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way galaxy," said Sara Issaoun, from Harvard's Center for Astrophysics, and co-lead of the project.
The universe’s brightest object is a quasar in a distant galaxy that’s powered by the fastest-growing black hole ever recorded, according to a new study.
