New image reveals magnetic fields at edge of Milky Way’s central black hole

Researchers at UCL have contributed to a groundbreaking discovery using the Event Horizon Telescope, revealing detailed images of magnetic fields at the edge of our Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*.

This insight could reshape our understanding of black hole dynamics and their influence on galaxy formation.

For policymakers, this highlights the critical role of international collaboration in advancing astrophysical research, suggesting the potential for further investments in such global scientific endeavors to unlock more cosmic secrets​.
