ESO detecta o campo magnético mais distante de uma galáxia
NOTÍCIA: Astrônomos usam o ALMA para detectar o campo magnético mais distante de uma galáxia. A galáxia 9io9 tem um campo magnético tão forte quanto o da Via Láctea
Uma equipe internacional de astrônomos, usando o Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), um conjunto de antenas localizado no deserto do Atacama, no Chile, fez a primeira detecção confirmada de um campo magnético em uma galáxia muito distante. A galáxia, chamada 9io9, está tão longe que a sua luz demorou mais de 11 bilhões de anos para chegar até nós, o que significa que estamos…

Most distant galactic magnetic field yet
Earth has a magnetic field. Our sun has a magnetic field. Our Milky Way galaxy has a magnetic field. And other galaxies have magnetic fields, too. This week, on September 6, astronomers using the ALMA telescope in the Atacama Desert in Chile said they've detected the most distant galactic magnetic field so far. The galaxy is called by the super-cool name of 9io9. Its light has to travel more than 11 billion years to reach us, from a time when the universe was a young 2.5 billion years old.
