Astronomers using the Event Horizon Telescope released a new polarized light image of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's center, revealing its magnetic field.

The EHT also provided a polarized image of the black hole in Messier 87, offering insights into matter consumption and jet emission from black holes.

Images of Centaurus A's 'dark heart' identified the precise location of its supermassive black hole.

Comparative analysis of black holes of varying sizes and masses is now possible thanks to the new data on Sagittarius A*'s twisted magnetic field.

The spiral structure of the magnetic field around Sgr A* suggests it has the capacity to form efficient jets.

The research, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, involved an international team of astronomers.

Future EHT observations aim to create high-fidelity movies of Sagittarius A* and investigate similar phenomena around other supermassive black holes.
