A new polarized image of the Sagittarius A black hole captured

On March 22, scientists with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) captured a new image of the black hole in Sagittarius-A at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. In this new image, the black hole’s magnetic field can be seen in polarized light, or collimated light. It has uncovered strong and organized magnetic fields spiraling from the edge of the black hole.
Actually, the location of Sagittarius-A, a supermassive black hole in the Milky Way galaxy, is about 27,000 light years, or 8.5 kiloparsecs, from our Earth. When 3.26 light-years = 1 parsec and 1,000 parsecs = 1 kiloparsec are calculated.
On March 27, a report of the polorized image of the Sagittarius-A black hole was published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. So scientists have discovered and unveiled some new and unknown information about this very mysterious black hole to the world.
On the other hand, scientists successfully took the first image of Sagittarius-A black hole on May 12, 2022, with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) which actually compares to its mass, which could be an incredible 42,97,000 times that of the Sun.
However, with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) in 2017, scientists found the existence of an object much heavier than the Sagittarius-A black hole. Actually, the center of the Messier M87 galaxy has a supergiant black hole. Its mass is an incredible 6.5 billion times that of the Sun.
Scientists think that the total number of stars in the Messier M87 galaxy may be close to 1 trillion. Whereas the total number of stars in our well-known Milky Way galaxy is estimated at 200 billion to 400 billion.
According to scientists, a black hole is an invisible object in the universe. Not even a single light can come out of it. However, although it cannot be seen, it emits a bright glow while destroying and swallowing all objects, including nearby stars, planets, and satellites. From that space, researchers try to find out its existence.
