Galactic molecular clouds are aligned to galactic magnetic fields

Looks like magnetic fields play a bigger role than previously thought in
the creation of star-birthing clouds inside galaxies.

NARRATOR: Reading the radio signal, Antony Stark detects just small
amounts of gas feeding the black hole, nothing too serious. But farther
out, about 400 light years from the galactic center, he can see signs of
something much more alarming. A vast ring of matter is gradually growing
bigger.

ANTONY STARK: This storage ring then builds up, until it coagulates into
a single gigantic cloud of about 30 million solar masses.

NARRATOR: When the ring reaches a tipping point, it will condense into a
giant cloud, triggering a dramatic starburst event, a storm of stars
forming and dying quickly. What's left of the gas cloud will spiral down
into the grasp of the black hole.

ANTONY STARK: Which then rapidly spirals in and feeds the black hole in
the galactic center, making the Milky Way an active galaxy. When the
feasting starts, the fireworks will be seen across the Milky Way.

NARRATOR: But don't bother marking your calendar, dinnertime isn't
scheduled for at least 10 million years.

Sam Sun like most stars form from nebula clouds far from galaxies
cores I see no galaxies near the Cone Nebula,or by the Eagle Nebula?
I agree EM force gives shape to nebulas. They must be ionized clouds.
I never heard od deep space having a magnetic field Have you? I am
looking at the Eagle Nebula as I type this. What a strange shape . Its
got fuzzy edges. In its darkest area is a new born star. TreBert

Bet you sometime wished you had taken physics at university, Herb.

Back when I was playing with
the idea that you could take two opposite
charges and rotate them in a circle and have
that circle travel along at c and be a light photon,
I bethought of precessing that rotating circle
to sweep out a sphere.

That would mean, thought I, that there should
be a magnetic field at right-angles to the center of
that rotation.

I started looking for evidence of stuff like that, and
two years later the VLA (very large array) spotted
a gigantic magnetic pole arising at right-angles to the
center of the Milky Way disc.

Since then we find the same thing in many other galaxies.
The rotation of their discs, like electrons travelling around a coil,
produces a field at right-angles to the rotation.

Thanks for the final tempering remark by the narrator.
Anthony Stark sounds like you do, Sam, being an
Anthropic Global Warmer... only this time going
totally ballistic... and FAR OUT... ahahahaha... ahaha..

Thanks for the laughs though.... ahahahahanson
