"The Milky Way is a rich and complex environment. We see it as a luminous line
stretching across the night sky, composed of innumerable stars.

But that’s just the visible light. Observing the sky in other ways, such as
through radio waves, provides a much more nuanced scene – full of charged
particles and magnetic fields.

For decades, astronomers have used radio telescopes to explore our galaxy. By
studying the properties of the objects residing in the Milky Way, we can better
understand its evolution and composition.

Our study, published today in Publications of the Astronomical Society of
Australia
, provides new insights into the structure of our galaxy’s galactic
plane."
