Black Hole polarization betrays galactic centre local magnetic field

Great to see this image

polarization, which is related to the magnetic field around the shadow of the black hole. (Courtesy: EHT Collaboration)

in Physics World showing magnetic fied local to the vast Black Hole at the centre of our Galaxy, measured at  230 GHz

We have supplied polarizing grids to a number of the institutions involved in the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration
