Interesting, thank you Marc.

In January, SOFIA-collected data was published in an article explaining that solar wind from the toddler star Theta Ori C pushes its nursery cloud outwards and by that stops further star formation at its own nursery.

But causing new densities to form at the outskirts of its "snow plow wave".

In the new image, I would have expected to see magnetic lines corresponding to that "snow plow" wave. Assuming, denser particle concentration at the outskirts also causes denser magnetic lines.
Not so at all. Magnetic lines are spread completely even '"in" the area of the Trapezium.

Hm.
