Scientists map Milky Way's magnetic fields to reveal complex structures

Scientists created a unique map of the Milky Way's magnetic fields, revealing previously unseen complex structures. The map, led by the University of British Columbia, uses radio telescope data to show the magnetic field is far more intricate than previously understood, aiding cosmic evolution studies. This detailed mapping of polarized radio waves, a technique developed in 1966, allows for a deeper understanding of magnetic field interactions within our galaxy.
