Our black hole just blew up and its NOT those Fermi Bubbles; and I was wondering why my phono power supply blew up today
<<The region at the center of our galaxy is still full of mysteries, but astronomers have just found a clue to its past: Huge, radio-emitting bubbles, extending 700 light-years to either side of the galactic plane.
They could be, the researchers believe, the result of a huge eruption from our galaxy's supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*. Millions of years ago that eruption would have punched into the interstellar medium in opposite directions from the supermassive black hole.
If "galactic bubbles" sound a bit familiar, it's important to clarify that these are not the huge gamma-ray bubbles discovered by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in 2010, nicknamed "Fermi bubbles," spanning above and below the galactic plane for a total distance of 50,000 light-years.
These latest bubbles, described in a new study in the journal Nature, are something new, and astronomers haven't seen them before. But they are amongst the biggest structures at the center of our galaxy, and they reveal new information about the dynamics of our galactic nucleus.>>

Lately, our black hole has been quite hungry
