Using the eROSITA observatory, astronomers have mapped interstellar tunnels—hot-gas corridors formed by past supernovae—that link distant regions across the Milky Way. This reveals a dynamic 3D network in interstellar space and has implications for how matter and energy flow, cosmic ray propagation, and star formation occur, with our Sun residing in the Local Hot Bubble.
Astronomers have discovered a system of hot, low-density plasma channels, or 'interstellar tunnels,' within the Local Hot Bubble surrounding our Sun, which may connect our Solar System to distant parts of the galaxy, challenging previous notions of space as an empty void.
Astronomers from the Max Planck Institute have discovered a network of interstellar tunnels of hot plasma connecting our Solar System to other star systems, within the Local Hot Bubble formed by ancient supernovae, challenging the notion of space as a void and suggesting a complex, interconnected cosmic environment.
Recent observations using the eROSITA telescope have revealed that the Local Hot Bubble surrounding our solar system is an irregular, dynamic structure shaped by multiple supernova explosions and possibly connected to other galactic features through interstellar tunnels, providing new insights into the active and interconnected nature of our galaxy's environment.
