The updated polarized image of SgrA* is just amazing. Hat's off to all who participated in making this happen.

[nosotrosloslobosestamosreg]

One of the best channels for science news. Thank you, OP!

[DavidGuianen]

Just wanted to say thank you for what you do

[zanychelly]

Let’s give our Sagittarius A* a huge thank you for not being messy and being a well behaved boy

[oubliette]

that galactic zoom to the blackhole was really cool, that was so far in a couple seconds.

[justinhorn]

Sag A Star is so cool imo, I love the older clip with stars whipping around it at mind bending speeds. Great vid Bromosapien!

To think, what humankind could discover and learn if the global budgets for science and the military were inversed.

The reason I know this isn’t fake is because there are a bunch of people with no Astronomy degrees in here commenting that it’s fake.

thanks for the amazing updates and images anton

The polarization and magnetic field observations are fascinating. It reminds me of a tokamak fusion reactor where a magnetic field keeps the bean centered inside the toroid… except it is a sort of self-focusing effect where the massive beam creates the magnetic field…that keeps it focused and “inside the toroid.” Wild.

Thanks for all the work you do and share with us. I often think about the loss you suffered and hope you and your wife are doing well

[Adivero]

Your videos are amazing as always. You mentioned that April they will focus again on it. Looking forward to what other great videos and updates you provide us with.

[buccibeats]

this was a good one ant keep up the good work, appreciate you

[AceSpadeThePikachu]

If the magnetic lines are so extremely powerful and twisted up, what happens if and when they snap, like what happens around stars to cause flares? Could it trigger a flash of sudden feeding for the black hole?

Excellent stuff Anton, a highly enjoyable video! 👍🏻

[MetalGearCopium]

Hello Anton, i look forward to seeing your new videos. I have learnt a lot, thank you.

[Kaiser]

Your channel has become an addiction for me. Just awsome stuff. Thank you.

I love your content! I'm a molecular biologists so it's nice to have these concepts and new studies explained in a professional and precise way. Having said that my ears perked when you mentioned something being proven. I don't know if I am just a stickler for these kinds of things but would it not be more precise to say something like "officially supported by data"? or maybe these findings are more substantial than I understand.

[philochristos]

That's pretty cool. I wish we could get in a space ship and go have a closer look. But not too close.

Thank you Anton for your simplified explanation of scientific discoveries.
