A balloon-like structure has been hiding in plain sight in the center of our galaxy.

The newly spotted pair of radio-emitting bubbles spans hundreds of light-years. In this composite view, the sky to the left of the second-nearest antenna is the night sky visible to the unaided eye, and the radio image to the right has been enlarged to highlight its features.
