As the field of conflict remote sensing grows, experts are leaning on satellite images for humanitarian purposes.

Astronomers have discovered an ancient galaxy's magnetic field, shedding light on the early universe's cosmic evolution and star formation processes. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have detected the magnetic field of a galaxy so far away that its light

Munich, Germany (SPX) Sep 08, 2023 - Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have detected the magnetic field of a galaxy so far away that its light has taken more than 11 billion years to reach us: w

Astronomers may have made what is the farthest detection of a galaxy's magnetic field in human history.

The galaxy called 9io9 and its light took over 11 billion years to the Earth.

Seeing this cosmic artifact could give astronomers some vital clues to how the magnetic fields of galaxies like the Milky Way came to be.

Researchers say the result provides astronomers with vital clues about how the magnetic fields of galaxies like our own Milky Way came to be.

Lead author of the study based on ALMA observations, James Geach, said that ‘no other telescope’ could have achieved the feat. Astronomers have made the…

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have detected the magnetic field of a galaxy so far away that its light has taken more than 11 billion years to reach us: we see it as it was when the Universe was just 2.5 billion years old. The result provides astronomers with vital clues about how the magnetic fields of galaxies like our own Milky Way came to be.

Using light that has traveled for more than 11 billion years to reach us, scientists have just measured the most distant magnetic field yet.
