When Magnetic Fields Sculpt the Sky: The Riegel-Crutcher cloud in optical polarization
New optical polarization data of over 90,000 stars shows H I filaments in the Riegel-Crutcher cloud tightly aligned with a coherent plane-of-sky magnetic field, indicating magnetic fields shape the cold neutral medium.
