The Milky Way black hole emitted two huge X-ray bubbles; Read details

A team of astronomers led by Andrea Merloni at Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany recently found out that a black hole in milky way galaxy released two plasma bubbles. ir findings and research were published in Nature journal. Re on to know more details:

Black Hole in Milky Way released two plasma bubbles

According to New Scientist,  team used Erosita x-Ray telescope situated at Spektr-RG space observatory to find about this cosmic event in space. y found out that x-ray bubbles were extending below and above milky way galaxy. Such bubbles emit a huge amount of X-Rays throughout galaxy.

pictures collected from space observatory provided more details. giant bubbles were spre over a huge area of more than 45000 light-years above milky way galaxy. So, considering size of Milky way(105000 light-years), se bubbles are huge.

Merloni said in an interview with New scientists that although scientists have earlier slain bubble hovering over galaxy, its exact nature was unknown and X-ray telescopes were not able to find bubble below galaxy. She ded that since y are able to find bubble beneath milky way, it is easier to find more details. Till now, re is no information on how bubbles were relocated in center of galaxy and which one is bigger in size.

Overall, X-ray plasma bubbles are of same size as Fermi bubbles. Fermi bubbles are huge cosmic bubbles that are me of gamma rays and are often situated on eir side of erroneous space and galactic plane. But fermi bubbles are slightly smaller in size and are a result of supersonic cosmic wind through galaxies.

scientists are still not sure why such huge X-ray emitting bubbles were formed from a black hole. X-ray bubbles can form when a powerful star is born. Even though new-born star is huge, it will not have such capabilities to form se two giant bubbles.

Hence, bubbles might have been formed when some cosmic matter came into contact with an erroneous black hole. This created a cosmic blast of energy which in turn gave birth to such huge X-ray bubbles in milky way galaxy. Scientists are planning to use eROSITA mission as it will last for more than six months. Regular observation will help m to find more about why this incident occurred and what are after-effects of such huge bubbles.
