Massive Gamma Ray Bubbles Discovered In Milky Way

An anonymous reader writes "Two huge, mysterious gamma ray-emitting bubbles have been discovered at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, US astronomers said... The structure spans more than half of the visible sky, from the constellation Virgo to the constellation Grus, and it may be millions of years old."

Look again.

See the two, red, bubble shaped things? Right in the middle there. Sort of coming off the center in a bubbly sort of way.

Those are the bubbles.
