See the Milky Way's Sagittarius A* black hole in an amazing polarized Event Horizon Telescope image

A new image of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration "has uncovered strong and organised magnetic fields spiraling from its edge," according to ESO. Full Story: www.space.com/black-hole-milk...

Thank God I have lived long enough to see humanities’ adventures in space from Sputnik passing over our hay field, through the “Right Stuff” era, the Apollo Moon Landing, and the Space Shuttle, to this remarkable photo of the monstrous gullet of our neighborhood Black Hole. I hope, wherever my soul may come to reside, I shall be able to keep watching mankind make their giant leaps to where no one has gone before!

I want to witness first astronaut put foot on Mars and see how much planets Alpha Centauri have with new best telescope in my life. Glad that we see clearly black holes.

'Not clearly' though

[@boutek]

You can not see a black hole. It's physically impossible. No light can escape it.

Spectacular!❤❤❤

Thank you. You provided this information in an excellent way. You educated me with the info I needed, and wanted, to know, without complications or pointless noise. I feel this has been created by people who really know what they're doing.

WOW!

Nice ambient too !

Go job, nice and clean. No mention of key words: click bait like Elon Musk, Space X, Michio Kaku, James Webb. Totally refreshing!

No matter where you are in the galaxy, or near the galaxy, or looking at the Milky Way, anyone can see Sagittarius A*. If we want to find alien life, we should study there because if a galactic trade federation does exist, it will have an outpost somewhere in that vicinity.

[@adriiPortillo]

At certain distance from a black hole, there could not be life as we know it.

Despite what the video says,Sgr A* is in a quiescent mode now,not eating much of anything.

From our perspective

[@NiklasHolsti]

The EHT is a wonderful instrument, and produces wonderful images. However, this depiction of the magnetic fields is IMO misleading, because the angular resolution of the EHT is nowhere close to resolving such fine striations as shown in this picture. These EHT images are only a handful of resolution elements ("pixels") across. In fact, this picture is a composite of a "real" image, without polarization information, that shows the radiant ring and the dark black-hole shadow that we have seen before, combined with the artificially added striations that *illustrate* the direction of the magnetic field as deduced from the observed polarization and from numerical modelling of what the magnetic field might be like. The actual resolution of the polarization and the magnetic field structure is as poor as for the basic image, that is, only a handful of pixels across the picture.

I’m not an astrophysicist by any means. But my career is in high energy density plasma physics at LLNL and I do agree with your summary.

[@stevenhe198911]

Magnetic field maybe is next new power source, but new formula need to be figure out just like classical laws of motion~maybe the magnetic field formula between earth and sun is the first step…Anyway, human still need to use space station to do the research near the sun, and the radiation is deadly,even if the technology can protect you from death, you still will suffer from endless sleepless night due to the influence from the solar flare, so it's not for fun at all,hmm

[@farrider3339]

Maybe one should think over the idea "nothing escapes a black hole". Magnetism, Gravity and even radiation obviously can escape.
