How do Magnetic Fields Affect Star Formation and High-Energy-Density Lab Experiments?
The famous Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebulae — a star nursery — are believed to result from the hydrodynamic instabilities from magnetic fields that form when plasmas are exposed to high-intensity light from neighboring stars. Stretching roughly 4 to 5 light-years, the Pillars of Creation are a fascinating but relatively minor feature of ...
