The Milky Way is a Bubble Butt Galaxy




Two extreme large bubbles containing high-energy radiation have been detected by scientists.
These two bubbles are 25,000 light years across and appear to be on either side of our galaxy.

The numbers involved in this "observational detection" are staggering. 25,000 light years measures well beyond the scope of my hand held calculator. One light year is 5.88 TRILLION miles.

25,000 of those adds up to a lot of trillions.......

TRILLIONS

The size of these bubbles covers one half of the visible sky as seen from earth.

How these bubbles were detected is probably related to multiple math equations and gamma ray photographs from one of the various Space Telescopes.

A paper about the findings will be published in an upcoming issue of The Astrophysical Journal.

It's amazing to me that we can discover bubbles half of the size of our galaxy, located outside of our galaxy, but somehow figuring out how to stop the Cholera epidemic in Haiti is beyond our grasp.

I love all things discovered about the universe but would highly prefer to have negative situations on our planet resolved before trying to understand things we will never be able to alter.

Those bubbles might be caused by the massive Black Hole at the center of our universe and if that's the case then we are looking at two big BURPS.

I guess it's a little hard to say we better get out of the way when those bubbles burst.

How odd if they burst on December 21, 2012?

That would really piss me off......but then again what's one to do when one lives within a
Bubble Butt Galaxy..
