The EHT has revealed the strong magnetic fields of the M87* black hole in a new light! An analysis of light in circular polarization supports earlier findings that the magnetic field near M87* is strong enough to occasionally stop the black hole from swallowing up nearby matter.

255 hours on the Whirlpool Galaxy collab with 15 other astrophotographers. The longest integration ever done on this target.
We have a full in-depth write-up available here: galactic-hunter.com/post/m51… so be sure to check it out!

Can you hear me now? 📡
Last night, I reestablished full communications with Earth thanks to some quick thinking and a lot of collaboration. I'm operating normally and remain on my expected trajectory. So glad I can finally phone home.

So. You’re an academic. A doctor. An activist. A professional of some sort.
Someone emails you and asks you for an interview. Ooh! Exciting! Someone cares about your work!
GOOGLE THEM. Don’t entertain fascists, please. Don’t legitimize them.

Space potato? 🥔
Thanks to observations from Hubble and the Keck Observatory, astronomers were able to generate a 3D model of the galaxy M87.
By tracking the motion of stars around the galaxy’s center, they determined that the galaxy is potato-shaped: go.nasa.gov/3MFV16L
