As shown in the images above, while M87*โs magnetic fields appeared to spiral one direction in 2017, they settled in 2018 and reversed direction in 2021. The cumulative effects of this polarization change over time suggests that M87* and its surrounding environment are constantly evolving. Credit: EHT Collaboration
This is amazing:
A direct image of the shadow of a black hole.
A direct image of the hot, swirling gas circling and falling into it.
And brand-new images showing an apparent magnetic flip around the black hole, a sign of turbulent, tumultuous changes. ๐งช๐ญ
