Ashkbiz Danehkar: Where did these gigantic space bubbles come from?

Where did these gigantic space bubbles come from?

In 2010, NASA announced the discovery of a never-before-seen galactic object: two gigantic gaseous bubbles, each emanating an impressive 25,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way. Astronomers were perplexed: what created these structures? And could this mean that the black hole at the center of our galaxy was waking up? Ashkbiz Danehkar explores the possible origins of the Fermi bubbles. [Directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Cem Misirlioglu, Brooks Ball].

Astronomers discovered two enormous bubbles, each stretching 25,000 light years from our galaxy’s center, emitting powerful gamma rays. These Fermi Bubbles, along with even larger eROSITA bubbles found later, suggest a dramatic outburst shook the Milky Way less than 3 million years ago. The energy released was estimated at a million times what the Sun will emit in its entire life. Competing theories propose either a burst of star formation or an active supermassive black hole sparked this celestial spectacle.
