Researchers have discovered that black holes can pump and release huge amounts of energy through magnetic fields and magnetized accretion disks, which could change our understanding of galaxy formation and the evolution of the universe.
The black hole of our Milky Way as seen in polarized light. Astronomers have for the first time been able to measure polarity, a hallmark of magnetic fields, so close to the rim of Sagittarius A*. The lines added to the image indicate the direction of polarization, which is related to the magnetic field around the shadow of the black hole. Credit: EHT Collaboration
