Now notice … no mention of plasma, plasma filaments or the role of electromagnetism. It’s still ALL gravity, gravity, gravity. But they do admit the molecular hydrogen is ionized. In fact, they say this …This star-forming region, known as "Sagittarius C," exhibits 500,000 stars strewn like glitter across a blueish glowing backdrop. One of the major sights owes itself to the James Webb Space Telescope’s Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and involves members of a dense cluster of baby stars, or protostars, visible just left of center.
… snip …
Stars form inside clumps of cold, dense molecular hydrogen that collapse in on themselves due to gravity. These clumps are laced with interstellar dust that helps keep temperatures within 10 degrees of absolute zero — absolute zero being the coldest temperature theoretically possible in our universe. In some places, the large, clumpy swathes of dust are so thick that not even the JWST's infrared vision can penetrate them.
They’re surprised there’s lots of plasma? LOL!This ionized hydrogen had been detected previously, the team says, but the sheer size of the region — 25 light years across as seen by the JWST —was a surprise.
And then the article states …
Now blow that image up on your computers and tell me what you think those “needles” look like? I think they're plasma filaments. Lots and lots of plasma filaments … created by the effect of magnetic fields due to current moving through the plasma. AND, if look closely at the image, you can tell that most of the “needles” are helically wound pairs of filaments. That's VERY significant (but ALWAYS ignored by modern *astrophysicists*). Look even closer and you can see some pinches along their length. And what have plasma cosmologists suggested happens at pinch sites? Stars form. So maybe THAT is what really explains why there are so many new stars in this small region?Crowe [BAC - the grad student doing this study] intends to investigate this finding further, as well as track down the identity of the "needles," or elongated slivers poking radially through the ionized gas in seemingly random directions.

It’s sad that the grad student doing this study, and his professor, are so clueless as to not even recognize what they are looking at in that very expensive image. But such is the state of modern astrophysics educations. And with that sort of ignorance in those using the most expensive telescope in history, they'll probably not learn a thing. They’ll just confirm their gnomes by creating more gnomes. And it will all still be due to "gravity" and "wind" and "jets" they can’t explain and "radiation" they don't really understand. Sad but true.
And worse, their ignorance will impact other work. For example, the article states ...
So they won't even consider that what is really causing the rapid star forming in the most distant of galaxies is again currents moving through plasma ... just like they're doing in the Milky Way.Indeed, in some ways, the Galactic Center shares similarities with early star-forming galaxies the JWST found to have existed just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. Those galaxies appear brighter than expected; one possibility for why is that they are forming more massive stars than older galaxies are.
