Spectacular images from the Hubble Space Telescope have enabled a British-led team of astronomers to explain the structure of a distant galaxy.
The NGC 1275 galaxy, 235 million light years away, has filaments of gas whose nature has puzzled scientists.
The team, led by Andy Fabian, of the University of Cambridge, have determined that strong gravitational fields provide a structure that protects the filaments.
“We can see that the magnetic fields are crucial for their survival and integrity,” Professor Fabian said.
“Without them, these beautiful structures would collapse into stars.”
Details of the research are published in Nature.

You're a loon if you believe in Miller's results. Miller allowed his apparatus to be exposed to temperature variations and calculated his data in a flawed manor, if his original data is calculated in the accepted manor you achieve a null result, just like all the other ether drift experiments.

John, Dayton Miller's 'aether' experiments failed to detect anything, and they've been repeated by many scientists who have also failed to detect anything. Evidence of relativity can be seen as easily as taking a cloud chamber outside and waiting a few minutes to detect cascades from cosmic rays.

To John of Aberdeen:
You claim that Prof. Fabian and colleagues are 'completely wrong', but fail to offer any explanation against their proposal. If you are claiming to be a scientist yourself then I would venture that your speciality is pseudoscience.
Andy Cooper, Teesside, England
Hi John,
Please explain why 'they' are wrong?
Derek J. Pickard, cambridge, cambridgeshire
Strong magnetic fields protect it they actually said but as usual they are completely wrong. Why do we continue giving money to people who won't repeat the simple experiments of Dayton Miller who showed even Einstein he was wrong about relativity? Sadly "Science" contains very few Scientists.
