Magnetic Field in a Distant Galaxy

Magnetic Field in a Distant Galaxy 

A team of astronomers in California have detected magnetic field of a galaxy in far universe. These astronomers are studying the early universe by a powerful radio telescope. This measurement of magnetic field is as it was 6.5 billion years ago.

Prior Believes

Astronomers believe that magnetic fields within our own Milky Way and other galaxies near milky way, control the rate of star formation and the dynamics of interstellar gas. This magnetic field arose from a slow Dynamo Effect. This magnetic field in these galaxies grew very gradually as they evolved over 5 billion to 10 billion years to their current levels.
