A new interstellar tunnel found in our solar system’s hot bubble
Our Solar System is located within a low-density region known as the Local Hot Bubble (LHB). This bubble is filled with a sparse, million-degree gas that primarily emits soft X-ra
Interstellar Tunnel Near Solar System Could Link Us to Other Worlds
Recently, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics made a surprising discovery within the LHB. Led by astrophysicists Michael Yeung and Michael Freyberg, the team identified what appears to be an interstellar tunnel leading towards the constellation Centaurus.
Telescope finds ‘interstellar tunnel’ within our solar system’s hot bubble
Our solar system resides within a bubble of superheated gas known as the Local Hot Bubble (LHB). Scientists have long pondered its origins. To better study this region, the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) researchers used data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey.
"Interstellar Tunnel" Found Towards The Constellation Of Centaurus By eROSITA Space Telescope
A team of astronomers using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey has modeled the hot gas in our local stellar neighborhood, finding a curious "interstellar tunnel" towards the constellation of Centaurus.
Interstellar tunnel discovered near our solar system - could lead to other star systems
Our solar system resides in a unique low-density bubble called the Local Hot Bubble (LHB). Stretching at least 1,000 light-years, this region glows in X-rays due to its million-degree temperature. However,
