This week, Astronomy & Astrophysics publishes new 3D maps of the interstellar gas situated in an area 300 parsecs (about 1,000 light-years) around the Sun. A French-American team of astronomers ...

Astronomers have captured new, detailed maps of three nearby interstellar gas clouds containing regions of ongoing high-mass star formation. The results of this survey, called the Star Formation ...

NASA’s two Voyager spacecraft are hurtling through unexplored territory on their road trip beyond our solar system. Along the way, they are measuring the interstellar medium, the mysterious ...

Astrophysicists are mapping a vast, hidden structure in the gas around the Sun that behaves like a tunnel carved through ...

As a massive bubble encasing the solar system that stretches across tens of billions of miles and protects us from harmful interstellar radiation, there is a lot for us to learn about the heliosphere.

Scientists have detected a narrow structure of hot plasma extending from the Local Hot Bubble surrounding the Sun toward ...
