Respected science publication New Scientist has provided us startling evidence of the FSM in a report of the phenomenon pictured above, which they’ve termed the “Galactic ‘Spaghetti Monster’”.
Long-lived magnetic fields are sustaining a mammoth network of spaghetti-like gas filaments around a black hole, a new study suggests. Previously, it was not clear what prevented the delicate filaments from being destroyed by competing gravitational forces.
The black hole lies at the heart of a large galaxy known as NGC 1275, which itself lies near the centre of a cluster of galaxies called Perseus.
As the black hole sucks in gas from its surroundings, it powers jets of matter that produce bubbles of energetic particles in the surrounding cluster gas. As these bubbles grow and rise, cooled gas from NGC 1275’s core gets drawn into long tendrils in their wake, like the strings that trail behind balloons.
Until now, no one was sure quite how old these gas filaments were or how they avoided being torn apart by the galaxy cluster’s immense gravitational forces. “Quite what the filaments are and how they are produced hasn’t been known,” says study author Andrew Fabian of Cambridge University in the UK.
But Hubble Space Telescope images used in the study, the most detailed yet taken of the galaxy, are changing that.
They show the gas filaments seem to be made up of a number of thin threads. These threads are so tenuous that magnetic fields are the only thing that can protect them from being destroyed, says Fabian.

Thanks, New Scientist!
Now it’s clear even science is proving us right.
RAmen!
wow i couldnt imagine the fsms beuty and glory befor,
Cue harps and organ music.
A sign from His Almighty Noodlyness.
RAmen.
we were all wrong, he is not invisible, it is just a lie?
This is certainly better proof than a picture of Jesus on a cheese sandwich.
rAmen
HAHAHAHA!
This is the best ‘proof’ of the existence of his sauce-i-ness.
Link has funny comments too.
-chappy
Proof! We have proof! What do they have? Stories, fables, myth and images in toast! Toast is not proof!
Proof that the FSM is immune to gravity. No wonder he can fly.
Ned Flanders: “Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. Well I say that there are some things we don’t want to know. Important things!”
I haven’t read the gospel yet. Are you supposed to avert your gaze or can the noodley one become visible or should FSM be searched for or taken on faith?
That is simply the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Now they need to find the pirate nebula! And while toast is not proof, it is still good.
Ramen.
Didn’t Bobby our prophet write in The Gospel that the FSM was probably orbiting a black hole somewhere? He was right! RAmen!
Suddenly everything makes sense!
nope
Mebbe He just made this thing, as a self-portrait, mateys.
Kinda told you about this one, nice crediting :)
But really, all is done in his name.
His presence is overwhelming,
I will wrap my sadness in ‘noodly embrace’
I was unsure, but after seeing this AND it has the backing of actual science!! I no longer have to have faith with proof.
RAmen maytes,
