“An international team of researchers has revealed invisible variations in extragalactic magnetic fields that could help explain the mysterious behavior of high-energy cosmic rays. The researchers combined observations from the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) telescope with theoretical models to create a comprehensive map of our local universe. The team discovered that the extragalactic magnetic fields are far more complex than previously believed. They found that some of these fields are highly structured on scales of tens of thousands of light-years, creating ‘magnetic field corridors’ that could shape the paths of cosmic rays as they travel through the universe.
