The team will continue to research the magnetic fields, namely capturing the third dimension of the magnetic field. Getting a 3D view is particularly important for understanding how the corona is ...

But for M87*, those magnetic fields are key to the release of powerful jets. The supermassive black hole has been observed releasing jets of particles moving at almost the speed of light extending ...

Astronomers have gotten their best view yet of the magnetic fields around the gargantuan black hole at the center of the Milky Way. A new image reveals that the behemoth, named Sagittarius A*, is ...

ESA's Solar Orbiter captured a "tube of cooler atmospheric gases snaking its way through the Sun’s magnetic field," according ...

Astronomers have captured the first view of polarized light and the magnetic fields that surround Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milly Way. The historic ...

When researchers recently compared views of the two black holes in polarized light, they were struck by their shared characteristics — most dramatically, those swirls. "Along with Sgr A* having ...

Until now, it was widely believed that spin played the dominant role in how particles respond to magnetic fields. However, new research challenges this long-held view.

Key Takeaways: In 1986, Voyager 2 flew by the ice giant Uranus. It was humanity’s first close-up view of the outer planet, and it remains the closest any spacecraft has ever come.
