This image shows the orientation of the magnetic field in the distant 9io9 galaxy (ALMA/ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/J Geach et al)

Astronomers have detected the magnetic field of a galaxy so far away that its light has taken more than 11 billion years to reach Earth.

It is seen as when the universe was just 2.5 billion years old.
