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 b...

The black hole’s magnetic field makes the light appear ‘twisted’

Galactic Drain Plug A team of astronomers has captured yet another incredible image of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole lurking at the center of our galaxy. The team used the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a massive telescope array that consists of a global network of radio telescopes, to capture the black hole […]
