Mystery of the Fermi Bubbles

First detected in 2010, Fermi Bubbles are a source of wonder for astrophysicists across the globe, and suggest that our galaxy’s supermassive black hole may have been much more active in the distant past. These puzzling formations emanate from the Milky Way’s galactic center. Join us to discuss active galactic nuclei and explore the possible causes of the mysterious Fermi Bubbles!
