Since it is a spiral I interpreted it as a dusty star with a strong magnetic field off axis from the axis of rotation.  The earth is an example of a rotating body with a magnetic field off axis from the rotation axis.  Then if one is directly colinear with the axis of rotation, Maxwell's equations predict an electric field due to a changing magnetic field (ja?) so the particles end up being pushed away or ejected from the rotating body.  
 
Over time the orientation of that magnetic field can change (as it is currently on earth), so the star can eject dust in a pattern that looks like a spiral, as that one does.
 
So, not an MBrain, but a cool picture anyways.  {8-]

So what is it? Gravitational lens? Imager defect?
