WASHINGTON (AFP) – Two huge, unexplained gamma ray emitting bubbles have been discovered at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, US astronomers said Tuesday.
Masked by a fog of gamma rays that appears throughout the sky, the bubbles form a feature spanning 50,000 light-years and could be the remnant of a supersized black hole eruption or the outflows from a burst of star formation, the astronomers said.
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, the astronomers said in a paper The Astrophysical Journal has agreed to publish.

Gamma ray bubbles
In the wine
Gamma ray bubbles
Make you feel fine
HULK SMASH!!!
Steer Clear if headed that way
Watch out for fleeing Pierson’s Puppeteers!
that’s why everyone drove me NUTS at work this week!
Gamma rays are influential in cloud formation.
The GW alarmists need to find a way to get to the center of the galaxy, and limit the gamma rays.
That was me, sorry.
The cooked cabbage does it to me every time.
Paging Doctor David Banner.

Funny. Niven Ping Funny.
So...the galaxy has gas...so what...it is natural.
Perhaps its a region lit up by a gamma ray jet from the giant black hole in the Galaxy’s center. I figure a jet burst could travel for a long time before it hits something and lights it up.
It says it was found north and south of the galactic center, If that is not a sign of a jet interaction I don’t what else is!
Keep your filthy tasp to yourself, then...
