New Image Unveils Magnetic Fields of Milky Way's Supermassive Black Hole

Event Horizon Telescope's latest discovery reveals organized magnetic structures around Sagittarius A*, offering insights into universal black hole processes.

The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration has released a new image showing the magnetic fields around the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*.
This image, showcasing the black hole in polarized light, marks the first time astronomers have been able to measure polarization this close to Sagittarius A*.
The findings reveal strong, twisted, and organized magnetic fields near the black hole, similar to those observed around the black hole M87*.
The similarity in magnetic field structures between Sagittarius A* and M87* suggests universal physical processes across supermassive black holes.
The research could refine theoretical models on how black holes interact with their surroundings, enhancing our understanding of these cosmic phenomena.
