Maybe this is just the beginning of a REALLY BIG COSMIC MONSTER that is gonna come down and eat us up.
God's signature on his masterpiece.........
Really, REALLY distant relative.
Oh! Sorry! I thought the headline read Double Neelix!
The origin of this phenomenon is nebulous.
Just as I always suspected. Our universe is a tiny speck in some other living creature. I just hope it's a conservative.
WOW
It is probably a mitochondrial DNA strand from a skin cell located on the Big Toe's toenail. You know, the one under which we all reside.
"The double helix shape is commonly seen inside living organisms, but this is the first time it has been observed in the cosmos.'
The same artist made both.
That is a big door.

It's a great big universe
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney.
It's big and black and inky
And we are small and dinky
It's a big universe and we're not.
Here is a little mental exercise:
Take a magnifying glass, and look at your fingernails.
Now they may be perfectly clean, or they might be dirty, but no matter the condition, you can probably find at least a very tiny speck of dirt underneath one of your nails.
Now imagine how many atoms, with swirling electrons, protons, neutrons, etc., are swirling around within the structure of that little tiny bit of dirt, thousands of them, most likely.
Now picture in your mind our solar system, with the sun and all the planets revolving around the sun, and ponder the similarity between our solar system and one of those insignificant atoms in that speck of dirt under your nail.
Now it's bad enough to torture yourself by wondering whose nail our entire solar system and world might be residing under, but now think about this: how many solar systems and alien worlds with little tiny people, all interconnected electronically, perhaps interacting not unlike we do here on FR, and they're all residing under one of YOUR nails?
Not that I endorse that bizarre view of the universe but it can sure keep you awake at night if you let it. ;)
"'Nobody has ever seen anything like that before in the cosmic realm,' said the study's lead author Mark Morris of UCLA. 'Most nebulae are either spiral galaxies full of stars or formless amorphous conglomerations of dust and gas—space weather. What we see indicates a high degree of order.'. . .. . . The recipe for a DNA nebula is strict but simple. It requires a strong magnetic field, a rotating body, and a nebulous cloud of material positioned just right."
Magnetic fields created by a Birkeland Current... and it is not the first time. For example:
The jets of Herbig-Haro stars and active galaxies are often resolved into braided filaments.
The Cygnus Loop (the blue strand in the picture below) is a twined braid.
The faint Galactic Jetemanating from the center of M82 is a double spiral. (which is probably what this "DNA Nebula" actually is for our Galaxy)
How does the gravity driven Cosmology of current theory explain this strange structure? It really can't. So they propose a "strong magnetic field" but really haven't a clue about how it is created in the electrically neutral model of space that is the currently accepted paradigm.
Astronomers are willing to accept a "strong magnetic field" but for some reason choose to ignore what we KNOW creates magnetic fields... rotating electrical currents. This artifact of one is only a mere 80 LIGHT YEARS in length... and somehow retains its cohesive shape. What can do that?
How about a force that is 1039 times stronger than gravity?
(That's 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 more powerful than gravity)
I think this might be another "win" for the Electric Universe Cosmologists.
Mark for later reading.
