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 ...

Astronomers have discovered the largest known cloud of energetic particles surrounding a galaxy cluster—spanning nearly 20 ...

Astronomers have just made an incredible discovery: a glowing cloud of energetic particles that stretches nearly 20 million ...

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly ...

A cloud of energetic gas lit up by a collision of galaxies spans nearly 20 million light-years, leading astronomers to ...

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?

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 ...
