NASA astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery that has left them puzzled. While analyzing 13 years of data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, they stumbled upon a mysterious “signal” originating from outside our galaxy. This signal has left scientists scratching their heads as they struggle to explain its origins. The Fermi telescope is designed to detect gamma rays, which are bursts of energetic light. Originally, the researchers were searching for the cosmic microwave background (CMB), one of the oldest gamma-ray features known to exist. However, to their surprise, they found this unknown signal in an entirely different part of…
