You and everyone you know live inside a massive magnetic tunnel, according to new research from the University of Toronto.
That's because Earth, the entire solar system and a few nearby stars are all encircled by a tunnel-like structure of magnetized filaments that are invisible to the human eye, says Jennifer West, an astrophysicist at the U of T's Dunlap Institute.
"If we could see radio light, we would see this bright stuff stretching all the way across the sky in several different directions," West told As It Happens host Carol Off.
Her findings were published this month in the Astrophysics Journal.
