Fascinating.  And if it’s more potent in forming galactic arms and large nurseries, why not the detailed individual star formation, too?  I betcha thunderbolts.info (the Electric Universe site) will be all over this ...

Also a new map of Galactic Magnetic Fields from Max-Planck-Institut

Things are getting more and more interesting as new observations, in greater details, come.
