Every year when the NHFP symposium comes around - and it's now my last year :( - I'm just blown away by how good all the fellows are at effectively presenting their research, everyone's such a good speaker

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.

This simulation shows a black hole image in total intensity (or ‘normal’ light, left) and in circular polarization (right). The blue and red colors of the circular polarization movie correspond to light rotating clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively. Credit: Angelo Ricarte

In this version, the simulation frames are blurred to represent the limited resolution of the EHT, so it cannot resolve all details in the images. The EHT's resolution is set by its observing frequency and the diameter of the Earth-sized "mirror". Credit: Angelo Ricarte

This animation shows Faraday Conversion, occurring when linearly polarized light passes through a magnetized plasma, which "converts" some of the linear to circular polarization. This effect produces nearly all of the circular polarization around M87*. Credit: Ioannis Myserlis

A new EHT image of M87* shows that the black hole shadow is still there a year later! This new image is from our 2018 observations 🙏 #blackholes #M87blackhole

The gorgeous polarized image of Sgr A* is finally out! So so proud of this result, and leading this project alongside Angelo Ricarte the last two years has been quite the experience! Look at this beauty!!

Celebrating our favorite new spiral donut Sagittarius A* with stickers and crullers! Today has been a real whirlwind but it was such a joy to finally share our beautiful new Event Horizon 'Scope results with the world!
