Scientists have unveiled the first-of-its-kind map of a magnetic field in space. Specifically, the team has charted the magnetic field of our Local Bubble in 3D. The new strategy for tracing magnetized structures in 3D will help address key questions about the influence of magnetic fields in the cosmos.
