A major study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics has revealed a remarkable structure within our corner of the Milky Way: a tunnel-like corridor of hot plasma extending from the Solar System’s Local Hot Bubble towards the constellation Centaurus. The discovery, based on detailed observations from the eROSITA X-ray telescope aboard the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) observatory, provides the clearest three-dimensional view yet of the hot, low-density environment in which our Solar System resides.
