Giant hourglass-shaped bubbles discovered in the center of the Chumak Way

Astronomers Discover eROSITA Bubbles in the Milky Way

Astronomers using the eROSITA space telescope have discovered huge hourglass-shaped bubbles at the center of the Milky Way. These structures, known as eROSITA bubbles, have sparked great interest among scientists.

Unique Characteristics of eROSITA Bubbles

Each of the bubbles is about 32,000 light-years wide and consists of northern and southern halves that make up a single giant structure. New research has shown that these bubbles were created by energy outbursts from the center of our galaxy and may have been formed by flows of hot gas or energy over millions of years.

Impact on Milky Way Evolution

Scientists are studying the nature of these unique formations to better understand their impact on the evolution of the Milky Way.
