We find magnetic fields very attractive 🧲⁣ ⁣ This image shows supernova remnant SN 1006. It combines data from our Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and nasachandraxray. The red, green, and blue elements reflect low, medium, and high energy X-rays. The IXPE data, which measure the polarization of the X-ray light, is show in purple in the upper left corner, with the addition of lines representing the outward movement of the remnant’s magnetic field.⁣ ⁣ Researchers say the results show a connection between the magnetic fields and the remnants high-energy particle outflow. Mapping these magnetic field structures of supernova remnants at higher energies with enhanced detail and accuracy enables us to better understand the processes driving the acceleration of these particles.⁣ ⁣ SN 1006 is about 6,500 light-years from Earth in the Lupus constellation. It is the remains of a massive explosion which occurred with when two white dwarfs merged or when a white dwarf pulled too much mas...
