Let’s Begin…
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.
Jets and ultra-fast outflows launched from accretion flows around supermassive black holes have been found in active galaxies known as quasars. How are they comparable to our home galaxy and help us understand the Fermi Bubbles better?
