The magnetic vortices which arise in SU(2) lattice gauge theory in center projection are visualized for a given time slice. We establish that the number of vortices piercing a given 2-dimensional sheet is a renormalization group invariant and therefore physical quantity. We find that roughly 2 vortices pierce an area of 1 fm2.
