These physicists show indications that something is in the center of the Galaxy.
"This settles a long-standing question about the origin of the WMAP haze. Until recently, it has been argued that the WMAP haze had alternative explanations, such as free–free emission from hot gas or spinning dipole emission from rapidly rotating dust grains. However, the existence of this ICS signal proves that the microwave haze is indeed synchrotron emission from a hard electron spectrum."

The electrons may come from unknown forms of matter.
