‘ magnetic fields in X-rays tend to be aligned in radial, not perpendicular, directions. ’
Magnetic fields orienting like spokes of a wheal rather than ripples on a pond. Completely different set of implications. Very cool!
Thanks for the post
Chandra has better resolution of the X-rays but this new telescope can see the polarization of that high energy light. If you ever see a rainbow check it out with polarized sunglasses. It will almost disappear before your eyes if you turn the sunglasses to the right position. That is because the light from a rainbow is almost 100% polarized.
