How About...Milky Way Bubbles


Newly discovered Bubbles amaze scientists









NASA scientists have discovered
something amazing, something we have never seen before: two enormous bubble like figures coming out of the center of our galaxy (Milky Way)

Scientists, with the help of Fermi Gamma-Ray Telescope LAT (Large Area Telescope) have been able to capture this protuberances in our galaxy.
But, what are they made of? According to NASA's scientists, this gigantic globes are made of Gamma Rays. They are the result of constant collisions between electrons and photons.

Scientists believe this may be the result of a super-massive star, or even our own galaxy's black hole.

What they know for certain, is that each of these two bubbles measure 25,000 light-years. And it is believed that they should not be older than 1 million years.

Scientists are still investigating this never seen phenomenon.

I hope you enjoyed, here is a video:
