Cold hydrogen clouds discovered inside superheated Fermi bubbles at Milky Way's center - Tech and Science Post

Researchers have found clouds of cold gas embedded deep within larger, superheated gas clouds—or Fermi bubbles—at the Milky Way’s center. The finding challenges current models of Fermi bubble formation and reveals that the bubbles are much younger than previously estimated. “The Fermi bubbles are enormous structures of hot gas that extend above and below the disk of the Milky Way, reaching about 25,000 light years in each direction from the gala…

Galactic Mystery: How “Ice Cubes” Survive in the Milky Way’s Blazing Bubbles

Astronomers discover fragile hydrogen clouds surviving inside the superheated Fermi Bubbles, revealing the Milky Way’s most extreme outflows are younger and more complex than ever imagined A team of astronomers has made a surprising discovery using the U.S. National Science Foundation Green Bank Telescope (NSF GBT): eleven fast-moving clouds of cold, neutral hydrogen gas—akin to […] Source
