Of course there have always been doubters of the faith. There always are, with every faith. If we all believed the same thing then we’d have nothing left to argue about. So it’s only human nature to disagree.

But now there’s one less thing to disagree about in the universe, and that’s the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! Pastafarians rejoice, He has been found!

NewScientistSpace reported on the discovery and study of galaxy NGC 1275. They describe it thusly:

“Long-lived magnetic fields are sustaining a mammoth network of spaghetti-like gas filaments around a black hole.“

“As the black hole sucks in gas from its surroundings, it powers jets of matter that produce bubbles of energetic particles in the surrounding cluster gas. As these bubbles grow and rise, cooled gas from NGC 1275’s core gets drawn into long tendrils in their wake, like the strings that trail behind balloons.“

So it would seem that His Noodly Appendages are magnetic. And at the center, the Flying Spaghetti Monster contains a black hole. Which is no surprise really, as a black hole is made of cosmic forces beyond our reckoning.

Quite what His Noodliness is doing so far away from Earth is unknown at this time. Perhaps He is gathering more pirate regalia for His followers. Or maybe He just needs a break from the discussion of Intelligent Design taught as science lessons. Who is to say really? But the important thing is, we have found Him. And He’s even more beautiful than we ever could have imagined.
