New view of the Milky Way supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* in polarized light #sgrapolarization For the first time polarization, a signature of magnetic fields, has been measured at the edge of SgrA*. The lines mark the orientation of the polarization.

This simulation shows a black hole image in total intensity (or ‘normal’ light, left) and in circular polarization (right). The blue and red colors of the circular polarization movie correspond to light rotating clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively. Credit: Angelo Ricarte

We have new results!

[Event Horizon 'Scope @ehtelescope]

The EHT has revealed the strong magnetic fields of the M87* black hole in a new light! An analysis of light in circular polarization supports earlier findings that the magnetic field near M87* is strong enough to occasionally stop the black hole from swallowing up nearby matter.

Congratulations 🎉 great first images

[ESA's Euclid mission @ESA_Euclid]

Welcome to the dazzling edge of darkness!🤩

The first images from #ESAEuclid are here:
razor-sharp, wide & looking far into the distant Universe. A trifecta never before achieved.

Big congrats 👏 to our @ehtelescope colleague Michael Johnson of @CenterForAstro & his collaborator. Their research on the substructure & properties of black hole photon rings can lead to precise measurements of the BH spin & mass.
