Still not "fillaments. And still not anywhere close to your non-scientific beliefs. You are also mixing photographs. Why use such a misleading tactic?
There's nothing misleading about it.
That's the quintessential example of a current carrying plasma filament, and it's specifically predicted by Alfven's homopolar generator model of objects inside of a plasma universe.
You'll find that current carrying filaments scale quite nicely, from the small current carrying filaments that form inside of an ordinary plasma ball, to the massive current carrying filaments that wire the universe together. That particular filament is somewhere in the middle in terms of current flow.
In an effort to deny the electrical aspects of space, and the current flow aspect of "Birkeland currents" in space, the mainstream erroneously calls them everything *except* their proper scientific term. They euphemistically use phrases like "space slinky" or "jets", or "magnetic ropes", "filaments", and even "STEVE". What they absolutely refuse to call them are their proper scientific name, "Birkeland currents", lest they are forced to acknowledge the actual current that causes them to exist, and the electrical nature of the universe itself.
The whole field of Geospace Science already understands the electrical nature of space:

Astronomers are still playing catch up.
