A 3D map of the Milky Way’s Local Hot Bubble (LHB) created from eROSITA data reveals a low-density region around the solar system, heated by ancient supernovas.

Each record, made to withstand the hazards of interstellar space, encoded a map of our location in the universe, photographs of daily life on Earth, and greetings and songs in countless languages.

A 3D map of our cosmic neighborhood has revealed hot and cold regions as well as an "escape tunnel" from our local bubble. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Supernova explosion role. Our solar system is situated inside a vast, 1,000-light-year-wide cavity, Local Hot Bubble. This idea was first introduced about 50 years ago. This bubble is a rarified ...

Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers have created a 3D map of the low-density bubble of X-ray-emitting, million-degree hot gas that surrounds the solar system.

The data it returned from this intact remnant of our Solar System’s formation has given us important new insights into how that process happened. But New Horizons’ mission is far from over.

The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) marked the completion of an important step on the path to spacecraft assembly, test, and launch operations this week at Johns Hopkins Applied ...

Getting samples of the undisturbed interstellar magnetic field could also help map the distribution and shape of the interstellar clouds of gas and dust that surround our solar system such as the ...

Because astronomers have no idea when the next interstellar object will streak across the sky, ... (LSST), the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will map the Solar System more accurately than ever before.
