"NASA's Fermi Discovers Unexpected Gamma-Ray Feature Outside Milky Way"

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has detected an unexpected gamma-ray feature outside our galaxy, similar to another unexplained feature produced by highly energetic cosmic particles. The gamma-ray signal was found in a direction and magnitude similar to the oldest light in the universe, known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB). This discovery suggests a potential link between the gamma rays and ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays, posing a cosmic conundrum that requires further investigation to identify the mysterious sources behind these phenomena.
