CITA’s Sebastiano von Fellenberg and colleagues have released a new image of the supermassive blackhole in the galaxy M87, revealing it is more dynamic and complex than expected.

New images from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), an international collaboration involving several #UofT astronomers & astrophysicists, have shown a reversal in the magnetic fields of the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy M87. 🔭 uoft.me/bQq

📡✨ From 2017 to 2021, the Event Horizon Telescope has steadily sharpened its view of M87*, thanks to new stations like NOEMA and Kitt Peak. You can see the difference in the data itself — the coverage is richer, the quality stronger, the science clearer.

Remember the first image of the black hole in the M87 galaxy taken by @ehtelescope.bsky.social ?

New analysis shows that some features of the ring around the black hole don't change over the years, but others do!

Groundbreaking new image! The EHT reveals the dynamic environment around black hole M87*.

The 2021 image shows a distinct shift in polarization patterns, tracing changes in magnetic fields near the event horizon.

Ever wondered how astronomers figure out if a source is time-symmetric, that is if one flipped the sign of the time axis it would behave differently? No? Turns out you are not alone, because despite that being a very interesting diagnostic it has not received much attention. #astronomy #statistics

I grew up with stories about my family being under surveillance during the McCarthy era/red scare bc of their Ukrainian heritage. It's incredibly disturbing for me to see this kind of language coming from NASA, or any government agency for that matter 😢
Here's an e-mail that just went out to NASA agency wide. 🔭

This week we've published our paper on the first midinfra red detection of Sgr A* in the mid infrared. The black showed a flare, quite similar with the flares observed in the Near Infrared.
