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
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.
