The Milky Way is home to gas, dust, billions of stars, and a supermassive black hole at its center. Living in this galactic home gives us exclusive insight into its components, but it also hinders our ability to get a zoomed out view of its structure.

A recent discovery of a magnetic halo surrounding the Milky Way galaxy could significantly alter our understanding of galactic evolution. Researchers from the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) in Italy have uncovered large-scale magnetized structures that extend far beyond the galactic plane,

A new study led by the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), and with contributions from Radboud University's Marijke Haverkorn, has unveiled significant insights into the Milky Way: a magnetized galactic halo.
