However, it has remained uncertain which of several possible triggers for this outburst could explain all these effects.
Now, with new data from eROSITA, researchers suggest a possible single cause for all these bubbles: incredibly powerful jets from Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, which blasted outward about 2.6 million years ago. Computer models the scientists developed helped them to deduce key details about these jets. They estimated that all in all, they spewed out a whopping 3.16 * 10^44 ergs per second.
