The European Southern Observatory released this new image of the Milky Way’s black hole March 27, 2024. The newly released image shows the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy in polarized light. Polarized light enables astronomers to map a black hole’s magnetic field lines. The discovery also suggests our galaxy’s black hole may be harboring a hidden jet. Image via EHT Collaboration/ ESO.
Thank you for this diagram. 🙏🏻
I just live in constant amazement at the mathematics and science that allow us an understanding of our place in the universe, and the creation of such a diagram... 🤓
