NASAさんのインスタグラム写真 - (NASAInstagram)「A wrinkle in time and space. This mesmerizing image depicts magnetic fields in galaxy NGC 1068 as revealed by our Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (@sofiatelescope). SOFIA studied the galaxy using far-infrared light to reveal characteristics that previous observations using visible and radio telescopes could not detect. The fields align along the entire length of the massive spiral arms — 24,000 light years across — implying that the gravitational forces that created the galaxy’s shape are also compressing its magnetic field.
