Magnetism shapes DNA in space
Look at the shot below closely and you'll see the double-helix shape of the DNA molecule, the blueprint for life.
But this is a DNA nebula. It's 80 light years long, travelling at 1000 kilometers per second and located near the center of our galaxy.
It doesn't take much to make a DNA nebula. All you need is a very strong magnetic field, a rotating body, and a nebulous cloud of material positioned just right in space.
It's debatable whether you'll be able to replicate the effect with a couple of magnets in your basement.
