Gamma-ray image of the Galactic Center reveals a massive, unexpected cloud of antimatter annihilation radiation, spanning thousands of light-years. This mysterious cloud, possibly a fountain of positrons, hints at exotic processes near the center of our galaxy, such as starbirth, neutron star collisions, or black holes. The bright central spot depicts annihilation gamma rays from the Galactic Center.
