“The magnetic field directions above and below the disk seem to be diametrically opposed, as indicated by the positive (red) and negative (blue) values. An analogous change of direction takes place across the vertical center line, which runs through the center of the Milky Way.”

Well, that’s interesting. Sounds a little like an electric motor or generator. I wonder what would happen to plasma and electrons in the arms of a spinning galaxy that has magnetic fields set up like that. Hmmm.
