The first-ever images of a magnetic field around a black hole may explain the jet of matter and energy emanating from the center of galaxy M87.

A team of astronomers at the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard & Smithsonian have captured what they say are the first-ever images of a black hole’s magnetic field, researchers announced Wednesday.

A new photo of the supermassive black hole at our galaxy's core looks different from those before. Scientists released the photo, captured by telescopes from around the globe, on Wednesday. The ...

While astronomers have long suspected the black hole is generating a strong magnetic field, the new image offers the most direct evidence yet of the field’s presence and a glimpse at the complex ...

"The observations suggest that the magnetic fields at the black hole's edge are strong enough to push back on the hot gas and help it resist gravity's pull," according to Jason Dexter, an ...

There was a lot of excitement when the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration showed the world the first ever image of a black hole back in April 2019. Weighing in at 6.5 million times the mass of ...

The original image of the black hole released in 2019 was created using a network of eight telescopes around the globe. They started recording the data for it in 2017.

For such a spectacular event to occur, a black hole needs to carry a powerful magnetic field. Where this magnetism comes from, however, has been a long-standing mystery.

Like a shaggy dog in springtime, some black holes have to shed. New computer simulations reveal how black holes might discard their magnetic fields. Unlike dogs with their varied fur coats ...
