Magnetic Slinky in Constellation of Orion

[Bruce Michael]

Astronomers have found a giant "magnetic Slinky" in constellation of Orion.

"You can think of this structure as a giant, magnetic Slinky wrapped around a long, finger-like interstellar cloud,'' said Timothy Robishaw, a graduate student in astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley. "The magnetic field lines are like stretched rubber bands; the tension squeezes the cloud into its filamentary shape.''

Could this be an image of Zurvan?:

Zurvan is most often portrayed as a man with a lion's head, coiled by a snake, mirroring the attributes (old and new) of the constellation Orion.
