With the help of a gigantic cosmic lens, astronomers have measured the Magnetic Field of a galaxy nearly five billion light-years away. The achievement is giving them important new clues about a problem at the frontiers of cosmology — the nature and origin of the magnetic fields that play an important role in how galaxies develop over time. Artist's conception of gravitational lens arrangement that allowed astronomers to measure...
