The NASA visualization team created a superposition of an image of the Milky Way, taken by the European Space Agency’s Gaia space observatory, and a visualization of the simulations of the eRosita and Fermi bubbles prepared by Karen Yang (lead author of the study and an assistant professor at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan) in cooperation with the co-authors of the paper Mateusz Ruszkowski (University of Michigan) and Ellen Zweibel (University of Wisconsin).

This week Nature Astronomy published the in-depth study co-authored by Professor Mateusz Ruszkowski entitled, "Fermi and eROSITA bubbles as relics of the past activity of the Galaxy's central black hole." The study was led by the National Tsing Hua University in collaboration with U-M and the University of Wisconsin. The Michigan News Office highlighted the important discoveries of this research in a comprehensive article.
Congratulations to Prof. Ruszkowski and the rest of the research team!
