The EHT captured a surprising polarization reversal around M87*, pointing to rapidly changing magnetic fields near the black ...

"The key result is that while many alternatives look very similar to the 'standard' black hole at today's image quality, the ...

The black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy is 1000 times more massive than Sagittarius A*. Watch views of both captured ...

Images of black holes are more than just fascinating visuals: they could serve as a “testing ground” for alternative theories of gravity in the future. An international team led by Prof. Luciano ...

In 2017, the EHT collaboration yielded the first-ever image of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Messier 87 ...

New observations of M87*, the first black hole ever imaged, revealed that the supermassive blackhole has experienced several magnetic flips in the last decade. Reading time 3 minutes In 2019, ...

A supermassive black hole lurking at the center of M87, a supergiant galaxy 55 million light-years from Earth, is acting far more strangely than anticipated. Since 2017, astronomers from the Event ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

A chain of plasmoids is created on the equatorial plane along the current sheet, where the particle density (left part) is higher. Here, magnetic reconnection takes place, accelerating particles to ...
