An Australia Telescope radio image of the Large Magellanic Cloud, overlaid with symbols indicating the magnetic field's strength and direction at various positions. The filled green circles indicate places where magnetic north is pointing toward us, while the open green circles show locations where north is directed away from us. The larger the circle, the stronger the magnetic field. The purple asterisks indicate positions where the magnetic field was too weak to be measured. Background image: S. Kim et al/ATNF.
