A high-resolution image of the magnetic field in the El Gordo cluster, including the Chandra X-ray image (blue part of the image), the NASA JWST infrared image (background galaxies of the image ...

Researchers recently mapped out the magnetic field of the gargantuan galaxy cluster "El Gordo." The resulting map of swirling magnetic field lines is the largest of its kind. When you purchase ...

A controversial technique has produced detailed maps of the magnetic fields in colossal galaxy clusters. If confirmed, the approach could be used to reveal where cosmic magnetic fields come from. By ...

Astronomers know of even larger magnetic fields, some of which fill entire galaxy clusters that can reach a few million light-years across. So where do these gigantic magnetic fields come from?

Deciphering the universe’s secrets is partly done through observation, but just as important are solid models of the forces ...

The polarized light image shows the black hole's magnetic field structure as a striking ... million light years from Earth in the Virgo galaxy cluster. Although it's farther away, the black ...

A magnetic field 16,000 light years across has been ... the lensing foreground object (either a massive galaxy or galaxy cluster) and Earth are all in nearly perfect alignment across billions ...

Magnetic fields have long been known to play a key role in the formation ... This lensing occurs when a massive object, like a black hole or a galaxy cluster, bends light from the galaxy that passes ...

Magnetic fields are present in many of the universe ... [Related: Secrets of the early universe are hidden in this chill galaxy cluster.] These new findings show off the inner workings of ...

Astronomers have measured the most distant magnetic field of a galaxy yet. The light of this object has traveled for 11 billion years to get to us, and it carried the information of what the ...
