事件视界望远镜（EHT）国际合作团队公布了 M87 星系中心超大质量黑洞的最新精细图像，揭示了黑洞周围不断变化的复杂环境。M87 距离地球约 5,500 万光年，中心存在着质量超过太阳 60 亿倍的超大质量黑洞。EHT 是一个由全球多座电波望远镜组成、大小犹如地球的观测网。EHT 于 2019 年宣布第一个 M87 黑洞阴影的图像，2021年公开 M87 黑洞周围的偏振讯号。透过比较 2017 年、2018 年和 2021 年的观测结果，科学家朝着揭示黑洞附近磁场如何随时间变化迈出了新的一步。黑洞周围亮环的大小多年来保持一致，验证了爱因斯坦广义相对论的预测，但偏振的样式却大幅改变！这意味着事件视界附近的磁化离子非常动态且复杂，让现有的理论模型面临挑战。研究显示，从 2017 到 2021 年间，黑洞周围的偏振方向发生了「翻转」：2017 年磁场呈现一种螺旋方向，2018年 逐渐稳定，而到了 2021 年则完全反转，呈现相反方向的螺旋。这种变化可能受到黑洞内部磁场结构与外部效应的共同影响。累积的观测结果显示，黑洞附近是一个持续演化、动荡的环境，磁场在其中主导了物质如何落入黑洞，以及能量如何向外喷发。
