Gigantic Bubbles at Center of Milky Way Caused by Powerful Jet of Energy From
The NASA visualization team created a superposition of an image of the Milky Way, taken by the European Space Agency’s Gaia space observatory, and a visualization of the simulations of the eRosita and Fermi bubbles prepared by Karen Yang (lead author of the study and an assistant professor at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan) in cooperation with the co-authors of the paper Mateusz Ruszkowski (University of Michigan) and Ellen Zweibel (University of Wisconsin).

In 2020, the X-ray telescope eRosita took images of two enormous bubbles extending far above and below the center of our galaxy.
Since then, astronomers have debated their origin. Now, a study including University of Michigan research suggests the bubbles are a result of a powerful jet of activity from the supermassive DOI: 10.1038/s41550-022-01618-x
