Показать описание
In 2010, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope made a groundbreaking discovery when it revealed the presence of two enormous gamma-ray emitting bubbles extending above and below the plane of the Milky Way galaxy.

The bubbles, which stretch for 50,000 light-years, are thought to have been created by a burst of star formation or a massive black hole at the center of the galaxy. The gamma-ray emissions are thought to be produced by interactions between cosmic rays and interstellar gas and dust.
