“…After magnetic fields had been predicted to exist in the disk of our Galaxy inside the interstellar medium on the basis of cosmic ray arguments, [2,3,27], and the presence of optical polarization from dust scattering, [64], with a strength predicted to be around 5 microGauss, to within 20 percent, they were indeed detected, with a strength as expected, see, e.g., [1]. Now the best measurement for the Solar neighborhood is 6 -7 microGauss, with about 1/3 to 1/2 regular, and 2/3 to 1/2 irregular components, [1].…”
