Astronomers have gotten their best view yet of the magnetic fields around the gargantuan black hole at the center of the Milky Way. A new image reveals that the behemoth, named Sagittarius A*, is encircled by highly-ordered magnetic structures, researchers report in two papers published March 27 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

When the chickadee goes to another stash, a different combination of neurons lights up. These neural combinations act like bar codes, and identifying them may give key insights into how episodic memories — accounts of specific past events, like what you did on your birthday last…
