<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 black holes. This similarity also hints toward a hidden jet in Sgr A*. The results were published t...

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 Way's 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.
