The Fermi bubbles, each tens of thousands of lightyears tall and wide, were discovered in 2010.
, a telescope that is the product of a joint venture between Russia and Germany, have found remarkably similar bubbles above and below the Milky Way.on the discovery wrote that “Because of their morphological similarities, enormous physical sizes and symmetry about the [Galactic Center], these fascinating structures most likely originate from the same event of powerful energy outburst from the GC sometime in the past.
Previous research has suggested that the Fermi bubbles were produced by the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*.CGI of a black hole based on the first black hole image by the event horizon telescope. “we could start to make sense of how this one event fits within our current understanding of galaxy formation and supermassive-black-hole growth in general.”
Although humans have observed the bubbles, we’re still unsure of what lit the fuse that led to their creation. Yang and her team propose that 2.6million years ago, a black hole at the center of the Milky Way consumed all of the light and matter around it, amounting to anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000 times the mass of the Sun.
Their theory may be useful in determining “how frequently similar events may occur in other galaxies.”With research into the eROTISA bubbles, life on Earth has made incredible advancements of our understanding of how our galaxy was formed.
