Abstract: The last decade of studying the diffuse gamma-ray emission from our Galaxy using the Fermi Telescope has advanced our understanding of the high-energy processes in galactic winds, particularly the Fermi Bubbles. The gamma-ray observations have been complemented by observations in X-ray, radio, and UV bands. Together, they represent a complex view of the energetic processes in the Galactic center. Several theoretical models have been proposed to explain these features but with no consensus about their origin. In this talk, I will review the last decade and a half of studying the Fermi/eROSITA bubbles and present the current understanding of these bubbles and the future directions.
