As astronomers report online today in Nature, magnetic fields inside M33's six most massive giant molecular clouds — large concentrations of dense gas and dust that give birth to stars — line up with the spiral arms, suggesting the magnetic fields helped create the huge clouds and that they regulate how the clouds fragment to form new stars.

So far there are few if any wholly satisfactory explanations as to how such an extremely elongated solid object could naturally form, let alone endure the forces of a natural high - speed ejection from a star system — a process thought to involve a wrenching encounter with a giant planet.

They also estimated the chance that a giant planet as large as Neptune would form near the star, as it would disrupt potential earths that could have assembled there.
