MilkyWay Center Filaments - Any ideas?

[RedshiftDrift]

Anton Petrov also discusses these Mysterious Filament Structures Stretching Toward Milky Way Black Hole

I don't accept the explanation of the black hole producing these filaments, the Fermi bubbles and the eROSITA bubbles from an explosion that happened millions of years ago. Such an explosion would cause much more damage than what is seen.

Instead, one idea is that these phenomena are more simply explained by infalling high-energy particles from the intergalactic medium which interact with the interstellar medium. The alignment with the centre of the Milky Way is only due to gravity (Fermi/eROSITA bubbles), magnetic fields (vertical filaments) and electric/light fields (filaments in the plane of the galaxy). However, more data are needed and a proper modeling of light-electron interactions is necessary before we can explain these phenomena.

Amazing.
In my view, first new large-scale phenomena found in years
