The heart of our Milky Way galaxy is much active than most people would realize. In fact, astronomers discovered two gigantic “bubbles” extending above and below the galactic center, roughly 50,000 light years in each direction. OMG..... Cool

Each one stretches tens of thousands of light-years above and below the galactic center, yet they stay hidden from casual stargazers because they glow mainly in gamma rays and X-rays.

These mysterious formations appear to have emerged from the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy, Sagittarius A*.

Researchers pieced together evidence that points to an enormous outburst several million years ago, releasing colossal amounts of energy in a short time.

“Fermi” & “eRosita” bubbles

These enormous structures are called the Fermi and eRosita bubbles, named for the telescopes that found them independently in 2010 and 2020.
Since then, researchers have published well over a hundred peer-reviewed papers that specifically investigate the nature, origins, and implications of the Fermi Bubbles. One study in particular explores how these bubbles arose and pinpoints the event that may have created them. It suggests that a powerful jet of material began erupting from the Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*, about 2.6 million years ago, continuing for roughly 100,000 years. Mateusz Ruszkowski from the University of Michigan worked on this investigation alongside partners at National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan and the University of Wisconsin.

“Our findings are important in the sense that we need to understand how black holes interact with the galaxies that they are inside, because this interaction allows these black holes to grow in a controlled fashion as opposed to grow uncontrollably,” said U-M astronomer Mateusz Ruszkowski, a co-author of the study. “If you believe in the model of these Fermi or eRosita bubbles as being driven by supermassive black holes, you can start answering these profound questions.” ccGalaxy bubbles and black hole jets
The research indicates that a black hole outflow can blow away surrounding gas and inflate these bubbles rather than letting the black hole grow without limits. This idea contrasts with an older hypothesis that connected the bubbles to supernova-driven starbursts. The new results back the black hole scenario instead, helped by observations of a microwave haze and other emissions near the galaxy’s center.

“We not only can rule out the starburst model, but we can also fine tune the parameters that are needed to produce the same images, or something very similar to what’s in the sky, within that supermassive black hole model,” Ruszkowski said. If“We can better constrain certain things, such as how much energy was pumped in, what’s inside these bubbles and how long was the energy injected in order to produce these bubbles.” Cosmic rays and expanding gas
The eRosita and Fermi bubbles each shine in different wavelengths, but they appear related to the same violent release of energy. A shock wave triggered by the Fermi bubbles likely expanded the eRosita bubbles to nearly twice their size. The expanding cosmic rays can be traced, giving astronomers another way to explore what is happening at the core of our galaxy.

“Our simulation is unique in that it takes into account the interaction between the cosmic rays and gas within the Milky Way,” Yang explained.
“The cosmic rays, injected with the jets of the black hole, expand and form the Fermi bubbles that shine in gamma rays.” The same explosion pushes gas away from the Galactic center and forms a shock wave that is observed as the eRosita bubbles. Observing the eRosita bubbles allowed them to more accurately constrain the duration of the black hole activity, and better understand the past history of the Milky Way galaxy. Creating a galaxy bubble timeline
Multiple lines of evidence hint that the bubble-producing event in the Milky Way galaxy lasted a mere fraction of the timescale once proposed by the starburst explanation.

Researchers involved in this work point out that the starburst model usually implies a longer energy injection period, which would produce different bubble sizes and shapes. “On the other hand, our active black hole model accurately predicts the relative sizes of the eRosita x-ray bubbles and the Fermi gamma ray bubbles, provided the energy injection time is about one percent of that, or one tenth of a million years,” Zweibel noted. Injecting energy over 10 million years would produce bubbles with a completely different appearance. It’s the opportunity to compare the x-ray and gamma ray bubbles from each telescope which provides the crucial previously missing piece. Composition of the galaxy bubbles The discovery of these towering structures close to home allows astronomers to collect more detailed data than they could from faraway galaxies.

These bubbles also highlight the link between cosmic events and everyday life. The processes involved in creating these bubbles influence how galaxies grow and evolve, which affects the formation of the stars and planets we depend on.
The study’s authors performed simulations that incorporate hydrodynamics, gravity, and cosmic ray physics. Matching these simulations to real observations helps astronomers understand the energy involved and the composition of the bubbles. The momentum driving and blowing up these massive Fermi and eRosita bubbles comes from kinetic, thermal, and cosmic ray energy.
Space bubbles and the Milky Way galaxy
To sum it all up, these galaxy bubbles, which seem to be making some type of giant space sandwich out of the Milky Way, likely formed when the supermassive black hole at the center, Sagittarius A*, hurled out energy and hot gas.
Instead of running wild, the black hole pushed material away and created these balloon-like shapes that glow in different types of light – gamma rays and X-rays.

Researchers studied these bubbles by modeling how energy flows through the galaxy, giving them clues about how the outflow grew so large and how it shaped the area around our galactic core.
The results suggest that this wasn’t caused by exploding stars but rather by a focused burst of energy, or jets, from the black hole. Why does any of this matter?. Now, I totally get it – two giant bubbles hovering above and below our Milky Way galaxy, each over 50,000 light-years long, seems almost impossible to comprehend. But by learning about these massive bubbles and the energy from the black hole that created them, Sagittarius A*, we learn how galaxies grow, how stars and planets form, and how the universe impacts the environment around us. That knowledge helps scientists see the “big picture” of where we come from and where we might be headed. The full study was published in the journal Nature Astronomy.

These "hypervelocity" stars are extremely rare, but we've just spotted a particularly special example. A star named CWISE J124909+362116.0 (J1249+36 for short) not only exceeds the galactic escape velocity at around 600 kilometers (373 miles) per second, it's very rare type of tiny, ancient, main sequence star called an L subdwarf, which happens to also be one of the oldest in the Milky Way. Tongue

First spotted by citizen scientists combing through telescope data for signs of the mysterious Planet Nine, J1249+36 is one of just a handful of hypervelocity stars identified in the Milky Way – and although far from the fastest we've seen, it represents something of a challenge to astronomers; namely, how did it get so breathtakingly fast?.

The magnitude of the universe is mind boggling and incomprehensible.

50,000 light years means traveling at the speed of light for 50,000 years just to reach one part of the Galaxy from another part nearby.

But there are trillions and trillions of galaxies in the universe. And there are billions of stars in each Galaxy. Forget about planets for the time being. There is no way to count the number of galaxies because the universe is expanding at twice the speed of light. The light from distance Galaxies will never reach our telescopes.

The trillions and trillions of galaxies that we can see could be only a small tiny portion of the universe.

Magnetism has been a significant driver of progress, enabling everything from data writing to energy-saving devices. Now, scientists have discovered a third type of magnetism, altermagnetism, which has similarities to both ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. This magnetism has the potential to transform high-speed memory devices and offer important insights into superconductivity.

There is great interest in the topic.

How long humanity will be able to exist on Earth. For many years people have contemplated the apocalyptic visions of the world, with ancient civilizations such as the Mayans attempting to estimate when it would be. Nowadays however, science provides a more reasonable approach. Renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking & other Nasa affiliated scientists have studied such chances & risks, mentioning climate change & resource scarcity as 2 important ones.

Stephen Hawking sounds the alarm: Humans may not be able to replicate naturally existing Earth environments until 2600. Cool

Among the many elites exceptionally skilled in modeling the future of the Earth, Stephen Hawking stood out as a singular authority. 

The Search for a New Earth Dawkins documentary scandalous stated that he even imagined a future where looking at the planet (earth) would just see a big ball of fire. This fear was rooted in problems such as, global warming, and the perils of climate change in general, a strong greenhouse effect. He warned that there were these environmental problems that could turn the Earth into a desert in the future if not tackled. Back to the recalibration of water. His warning sounds emphatic of what got African period the said urban level it to extreme management of humans’ footprint on the Earth’s efficient level.

95% of the universe is made up of dark matter and dark energy. These stuff are invisible to our senses, and outside our dimension. Have no time, no length no breath. We know they are there because they are the source of gravity.

Climate change something to be afraid of? Stephen Hawking’s perspective on the changes in the world.

NASA’s emphasis on planetary defense: Shielding  Earth from celestial threats, exploring uniform climate is waning, NASA also investigates threats coming from space. save Earth from, asteroid hits, which are hazards cab cause destruction on earth.

Warnings issued by Stephen Hawking research carried out by NASA, there is no time to waste and hence solution must be pursued with urgency.

Water Arrived in Final Stages of Earth's 

Formation: Roughly 4.6 billion years ago, the Sun was born from the gas and dust of a nebula that underwent gravitational collapse. The remaining gas and dust settled into a protoplanetary disk that slowly accreted to form the planets, including Earth. About 4.5 billion years ago, our planet was impacted by a Mars-sized body (Theia), which led to the formation of the Moon. According to current theories, water was introduced to Earth and the inner planets by asteroids and comets that permeated the early Solar System.

Earth’s Magnetic North Pole Position Is Officially Changed—Scientists Just Updated Its Location.

Earth’s magnetic north pole just shifted again, forcing scientists to update global navigation models. Movement has been accelerating for decades, and its latest position brings it closer to Russia than ever before. Small changes like this might seem unimportant, but they can have surprising effects on navigation and technology. The real question is how much more it will move—and what happens next???. Tongue

Galaxies that never were — here’s what the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered.

Meanwhile. Meteorologists on alert after record-breaking temperatures recorded in North Pole thermometers — The planet is changing. The Arctic decided to turn up the heat this past weekend, with temperatures soaring above freezing. In some parts of the high Arctic, the mercury shot up 36 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) higher than usual—a temperature spike that has climate scientists worried. Why? Because when things heat up that much, sea ice doesn’t stand a chance, and the Arctic’s warming trend gets even worse. crying

For a decade and a half, astronomers have been on the trail of a galactic mystery. Based on the duo's change in position between 2011 and 2021, the research team gauged that the pair is traveling over 1.3 million miles per hour, or 600 kilometers per second. That's fast enough to propel something beyond the Milky Way's potent gravitational grip.

"If so, the planetary system is destined to traverse intergalactic space many millions of years in the future," NASA wrote. "If confirmed, the pair sets a record for fastest known exoplanet system," the space agency added. That's nearly twice as fast as our solar system is orbiting around the Milky Way. But that's not all.

In 2011, a project that surveyed the Milky Way galaxy for exoplanets — which are planets beyond our solar system — spotted an intriguing signal: They found two objects traveling together through the galaxy, one 2,300 times heavier than its companion. Could it be a rogue planet with a moon, or a small star and orbiting world?

  1. During a recent investigation, researchers poured through observations from the Keck Observatory (located 13,599 feet up in Hawaii) and the European Space Agency's Gaia satellite (which surveyed a whopping 2 billion objects in our galaxy). They think they spotted the curious duo, now located 24,000 light-years away near the center of the galaxy.
