New Event Horizon Telescope images show the supermassive black hole M87*’s magnetic field polarization reversed between 2017 and 2021, indicating a dynamic environment. The ring of light around the black hole remained consistent with Einstein’s predictions, and a powerful particle jet was observed. (Image: EHT Collaboration)
