"Unveiling the Magnetic Field Surrounding the Milky Way's Black Hole"

A new image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way reveals a spiraling magnetic field, suggesting structural similarities with the black hole at the heart of the M87 galaxy. The image, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope, indicates that strong and organized magnetic fields are critical to how black holes interact with surrounding gas and matter. The findings may hint at the potential for a hidden jet of activity from Sagittarius A*, similar to the one observed in M87.
