Huge bubbles found at heart of our galaxy!!

Huge bubbles found at heart of our galaxy!!

Scientists have detected two gigantic bubbles of high-energy radiation spilling out from the Milky Way's center that may have erupted from a supermassive black hole.

Wild stuff!

I wonder how large they are expanding... and at what rate!??

Radiation from super nova's and our very own sun breaking the earths defensive barrier has always been what I believe would end the earth as we know... if the bible doesn't hold true. lol.

Hold on!!

On the Fermi article they say the objects may be millions of year old, however we just now are able to detect it. So, it's not like it expanded 50,000 light-years recently.

The structure spans more than half of the visible sky, from the constellation Virgo to the constellation Grus, and it may be millions of years old.

"Huge" and "gigantic" are really understatements of just how enormous these structures are. The article states that they may be several million years old. I really doubt this taking into the account that the galaxy itself is more than several billion years old.

It's my belief that these structures formed in the early stage of the galaxy. It may be possible that this is the normal structure of all spiral galaxies.

I'm still at a loss for words for its near perfect symmetry and distinct boundaries. Quite amazing to say the least.

I thought this was big news so a flag and a star to the OP.
