70. The Local Bubble

Authors/Creators

Description

Our Sun lies within a low-density region of the interstellar medium known as the local cavity.  This is partially filled with hot, low-density gas, about 100 pc in size, and referred to as the Local Bubble. Its detailed morphology can be probed through our knowledge of stellar distances, and these are being transformed by Gaia.
