5. Our Galaxy Emits Giant “Fermi Bubbles”
Have you ever heard of this term? If not, you are probably asking yourself what a giant fermi ball is. Imagine going outside one day and noticing giant bubbles emitting energy above and below your house. This magnitude of stupefying discovery hit scientists when they detected truly massive gamma-ray emitting objects that extend 25,000 light-years above and below our galaxy. Represented visually as two massive gloves that dwarf the width of our galaxy, they are now referred to as “Fermi Bubbles.” Quite the name for an unusual thing in the universe.
