Abstract: The gamma-ray sky appears to be even richer than we thought, with an unexpected ‘fountain’ of antimatter far above the Milky Way, and more than a hundred unidentifiable point sources. The fountain may be produced by a region of rapid star-formation at the Galactic Centre, where massive stars and supernovae would emit radioactive aluminium-26, which would then decay to produce positrons.
