Where did these gigantic space bubbles come from? - Ashkbiz Danehkar

Explore the massive structures known as the Fermi bubbles, and dig into the prevailing theories about how they came to be. -- In 2010, NASA announced the discovery of a never-before-seen galactic object: two gigantic gaseous bubbles, each emanating an impressive 25,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way. Astronomers were perplexed: what created these structures? And could this mean that the black hole at the center of our galaxy was waking up? Ashkbiz Danehkar explores the possible origins of the Fermi bubbles. Lesson by Ashkbiz Danehkar, directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio.
