One of the key aspects that emerged from these observations is the presence of a filamentary network nearly everywhere in our Galaxy's interstellar medium. The picture that is emerging is that these structures are closely linked to the formation of stars.
Prior to Herschel, astronomers had already identified several filaments in interstellar clouds and recognised their potential importance for star formation. However, only with the increased sensitivity and spatial resolution granted by this observatory, combined with its large-scale surveys, could they reveal the full extent of filamentary patterns in the Milky Way.
Filaments connect to star forming as a transfer system of matter. Which begs the question: What creates these filament structures and how is matter transferred?
Black Hole and gravitational connected partner theorized as White Hole. |
IC5146. Filaments connect to nebula (top) and star forming in matter transfer. |
IC5146. Nebular at end of filaments, to centre, produces symmetrical growth around White Hole. |
