IN the NEWS - "Christmas" Candy Cane in Space?

What Purpose did God make this?...I don't have any idea why...For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof ... Isaiah 13:10

"Astronomers have spotted a massive candy cane near the center of the Milky Way galaxy, 190 light-years long - that's 1797 trillion kilometres.

The tasty space treat features in a new image compiled by NASA scientists showing a scene 750 light-years across, created with a 30m-wide telescope in Spain and an instrument called the Goddard-IRAM Superconducting 2-Millimeter Observer in Washington DC.
Located about 27,000 light-years away, the cane can't be seen with the naked eye, or any normal telescope.
The candy cane's staff is made up of "high-speed electrons spiraling in a magnetic field, a process called synchrotron emission", said team member Richard Arendt.
The curved top of the cane is ionised gas."
