rebootyourbrainstem on March 26, 2025 10:28 am Why would they pick an old, already famous image to represent an article about new science? Especially since the article also contains [this](https://cff2.earth.com/uploads/2025/03/25143111/space-tornadoes_discovered_center-milky-way_credit-Astronomy-Astrophysics_1m.jpg?_gl=1*1nzoyxl*_gcl_au*OTU2NTQ5ODYuMTc0Mjk4NDc5Ng..*_ga*MTQ5ODAzNDkxNC4xNzQyOTg0Nzk2*_ga_STJW8JPZJQ*MTc0Mjk4NDc5NS4xLjAuMTc0Mjk4NDc5NS42MC4wLjA.) new image. Based on the image I initially thought this was a regurgitation of old EHT data.

So is there “wind” in space if that makes any sense
Now if they find space sharks we can have a space sharknado
