"Scientists Thrilled by Twisted Magnetic Fields of First Ever Imaged Black Hole"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists studying the first-ever image of a black hole captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) have discovered twisted magnetic fields around the supermassive black hole at the center of M87. The polarized light observed around the black hole suggests that these magnetic fields may prevent matter from being consumed by the black hole, instead launching it into space as highly collimated jets. The findings provide valuable insights into how black holes consume matter and launch jets outside their host galaxies.
