A Supermassive Black Hole Just Flipped its Entire Magnetic Field - by BrianKoberlein
In 2018, an automated sky survey found a sudden change in a galaxy 239 million light-years away. Known as 1ES 1927+654, the galaxy had brightened by a factor of 100 in visible light. Soon after its discovery, the Swift Observatory captured its glow in x-rays and ultraviolet. A search of archival observations of the region showed the galaxy actually started to brighten toward the end of 2017.
