In a major achievement, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has captured the 'magnetic fingerprint' of a galaxy across 24,000 light-years. The magnetic fingerprint of the galaxy dubbed NGC 1068 or M77 was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. The composite image of the galaxy shows a complex inner structure. The image shows magnetic fields aligned along the entire length of the massive spiral arms.
