Two huge bubbles that emit gamma rays have been found billowing from the center of the Milky Way galaxy

Gamma rays are the most energetic forms of light, and in space they tend to come from violent events such as supernovae or from extreme objects such as black holes and neutron stars.

Further studies will be required to get at the true nature of the energy source blowing the bubbles.

Reading this news I couldn’t help thinking of the Mayan cosmology which has already created such speculations among people even a movie on the subject, that by the way, has many flaws.

According to Mayan cosmology, the Earth has five major cycles or eras, each with about 5125 years. For them, four have passed. The four previous cycles ended in destruction. The Mayan doomsday prophecy refers to the last day of the 5th cycle, at 21 December 2012.

Every 26,000 years the Sun aligns with the center of the Milky Way. At the same time, there is another rare astrological phenomenon, a shift in the axis of the earth about the celestial sphere. The phenomenon is called precession.  Due to disturbances in the sun's magnetic fields that generate huge solar storms will affect the polarity of our entire planet. Result: The geomagnetic field will reverse at once, with catastrophic consequences for humanity.
