The Whirlpool Galaxy (also named M 51) has a well observed magnetic field. The magnetic field lines broadly follow the spiral arms in the central region and become more braided and distorted in the outskirts due to turbulence and the satellite galaxy above.

New simulations by University of Hamburg researchers & collaborators at Australian National University reveal a powerful turbulent dynamo acting in the early Universe.

This dynamo could have rapidly amplified the initially weak cosmic magnetic fields to become much stronger intergalactic
