"Revealing Strong Magnetic Fields at Milky Way's Central Black Hole"

The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration has captured a new view of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* at the center of the Milky Way, revealing strong and organized magnetic fields spiraling from its edge in polarized light for the first time. This discovery suggests that strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes and hints at a hidden jet in Sagittarius A*. The findings, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, provide new insights into the interaction of black holes with the surrounding gas and matter, and pave the way for further observations and enhancements to the Event Horizon Telescope in the coming years.
