Our Privileged place in the universe.

New research claims that our cosmic neighborhood in the solar system is made up of magnetic tunes.


The research focused on two structures that have been known for decades, they are called the north polar spur and the fan region, they are located about 350 light years away and even if you use the term structure, it does not mean that it is a solid object. , a structure can be a cloud of particles that have a certain order and in this case the two structures we are talking about are composed of charged particles that are ordered by a magnetic field, which gives the structures the shape of elongated strings with a length about a thousand light-years.

To date scientists and most explanations have treated structures individually, as distinct and unrelated things, but researcher Jennifer West and her colleagues on the contrary, are the first astronomers to connect them as a unit, as something much bigger that surrounds our solar system, according to Jennifer West "if we look at the sky we would see this tunnel-like structure in almost all directions, that is, if we had eyes that could see radio waves," said the researcher.


Jennifer West has been thinking about these structures on and off for the past 15 years, ever since she first saw a map of the night sky, but constructed as it would look from radio waves, most recently she created a computer model where she calculated what the radio sky would look like from earth, while varying the shape and location of these long strings.

This Jennifer West model allowed us to build the structure around us how it would look to be said again about our telescopes, it was this new perspective that helped match the model with the data and this takes us further, because according to the researcher Magnetic fields do not exist in isolation, they all must be connected to each other.


So the next step would be to better understand how this local magnetic field, the field that makes up this tunnel, connects to both the larger-scale magnetic field of the galaxy in general, and the smaller-scale magnetic fields of our sun and of our own land.

And all this makes us ask, what is the origin of this than in the magnetic one? What influence can it have on the solar system? harmful cosmic rays and thus make the earth receive a lower percentage of radiation than if it were outside the tunnel, are there other effects it may have?

This research opens many enigmas for us to discover this news is only the beginning, the beginning of a new research topic, what the researcher makes clear is that magnetism surrounds us is present and connects our planet, the solar system and the entire galaxy at levels and influence that we do not yet fully understand.
