nice source

u jelly, inferior galaxies?

Milky Way master race reporting in

>>2030093

Yeah I was reading this earlier, it's pretty cool.

>>2030101
Or instead of being a dick, you could click on one of the sources in the article.

Didn't know our galaxy was active. Cool stuff.

>>2030100
Milky Way is best way!

>>2030100
Lots of galaxies exist that are larger then ours and have massive jets coming out each end.

geez cant you just link me a link from the article

NASA's Fermi Finds Giant, Previously Unseen Structure In Our Galaxy


>WASHINGTON -- NASA will hold a media teleconference at 2:30 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Nov. 9, to discuss a new discovery by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Gamma rays are the highest-energy form of light. The soon-to-be published findings include the discovery of enormous but previously unrecognized "gamma-ray bubbles" centered in the Milky Way.


Interesting, the conference was already held, today.

Gee, so there's something like 100,000 supernovas going off in the center of our galaxy? Not like there was ever anything before that would have suggested that. I mean, it's not like there's this enormous bright-as-fuck glob of light sitting in the middle of our galaxy.

It looks to me that these 'gamma-ray bubbles' are fairly directional and pointed away from the galaxy (normal to the plane of our galaxy, if you know what that means).

It's funny because a few years ago there was this big deal when we first discovered gamma ray bursts (unrelated phenomenon... probably) and we though they were spherical instead of directional, they would have to have had more energy than the mass that they contained (i.e. physics momentarily shit itself).

Seriously, google gamma ray bursts. It's a fun story.

Now THAT is an attention grabbing link.

>>2030131
My thoughts exactly.

Scientists using NASA's Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope said they discovered two bubbles of energy erupting from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The bubbles extend 25,000 light years up and down from each side of the galaxy and contain the energy equivalent of 100,000 supernova explosions.

OP has caught my attention.

Supermassive black holes tend to form polar jets.
The real question is why didn't we notice this before now?

>>2030093
goku is having a battle at the center of the galaxy

>>2030152
The battle goes something like this. Dry rape everywhere.

the particles of matter are falling into the immense gravity fire (black hole) at the center of our galaxy so fast the impact is throwing particles out of the disc were in ,. i wonder if antimatter would be the culprit pushing itself away from the fire carrying particles with in its wake hmmmm??? i bet it's one hell of a storm at our core.

>>2030148
Wait, how can a black hole shoot off polar jets of anything when it's escape velocity is faster than the speed of light? Is it due to shit colliding at very high speeds as they rush toward the event horizon and releasing gamma rays in the process?

Damn milky way, you crazy.

>>2030171
I want to know as well, because it obviously happens.

>>2030179
>>2030171

HAWKING RADIATION MOTHERFUCKERS, DO YOU SPEAK IT?

>>2030171

Your description is crude, but accurate.

>>2030184

Hawking radiation doesn't produce jets.

its more proof of antimatter ,... the universe may not go to a big freeze it may become stable .....

>>2030225
BLASPHEMY.

>>2030184
>HAWKING RADIATION
Shit was disproved.

>>2030225

The exact opposite happened.

It was proven hurr.
