One origin hypothesis holds that the Radio Arc and the Arches have their geometry because they contain hot plasma flowing along lines of constant magnetic field. Images from the Chandra X-ray Observatory appear to show this plasma colliding with a nearby cloud of cold gas.

Just so the image stays as the one DD is referring to, because tomorrow his link will be to a different picture.

What is the strength of the magnetic field? ~1 mG?
