See a new map of the universe’s magnetic fields – the largest and most detailed ever made

"Magnetic fields are a fundamental part of the universe. They govern how small
particles – the building blocks of planets, stars, and ultimately galaxies –
move through space.

We still don’t know how magnetic fields came to exist in the universe, but we
do know they’re everywhere. Earth itself has a magnetic field that compasses
and migrating birds respond to.

With radio telescopes, astronomers can use the light from distant galaxies to
illuminate these otherwise invisible areas in space.

In our study, published today in Publications of the Astronomical Society of
Australia, we’ve used Australia’s most powerful radio telescope to create the
largest and most detailed map of cosmic magnetic fields ever made."
