TL;DR Summary

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has captured a new view of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* in the Milky Way, revealing strong, organized magnetic fields in polarized light, similar to those of the M87 black hole. This suggests that strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes and hints at a hidden jet in Sagittarius A*. The observations provide insight into the physical processes governing how black holes interact with their surroundings and could lead to sharper images of black holes in the future.
