The unexpected discovery suggests a colossal event in our galaxy's past, releasing energy equivalent to 100,000 exploding stars. But scientists don't yet know what that event might have been..

November 10, 2010|By Thomas H. Maugh II, Los Angeles Times

Startled astronomers said Tuesday they had discovered two massive bubbles of gamma-ray energy extending 25,000 light-years above and below the plane of the Milky Way galaxy like a squat hourglass.

"They're big, they're sharp-edged and they contain a lot of energy," astrophysicist Douglas Finkbeiner of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., said in a news conference. Finkbeiner led a team that used data from NASA's 2-year-old orbiting Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope to discover the bubbles hiding behind a fog of gamma rays.

Saw this on FB and someone wrote: "When God Farts" then provided the headline "Huge gamma-ray bubbles found extending from Milky Way"

That's what I said! The timing is pretty incredible too. With all the talk of what could happen come 2012 wish some sort of galactic energy shift......
Too bad we dont know an exact date of the last one. If it were 26,000 years, then we would be on to something....

It's called a double Torus.

I think watching Physicist Nassim's talk on the Event Horizon will offer another layer of perspective on all this.
