Astronomen haben ein verborgenes Netzwerk von Pfaden entdeckt, die sich von unserem Sonnensystem bis zu entfernten Regionen der Galaxie erstrecken, was darauf hindeutet, dass der Weltraum weitaus stärker miteinander verbunden ist als bisher angenommen

Astronomers have uncovered a hidden network of pathways extending from our solar system to distant regions of the galaxy, suggesting that space is far more interconnected than previously thought.

Using advanced X-ray instruments, new research reveals hot, low-density plasma “highways” or channels stretching through the Local Hot Bubble—a vast, heated region surrounding our Sun. These findings add depth to our understanding of the cosmic environment and its dynamic history shaped by supernova explosions.

The Local Hot Bubble, spanning roughly 300 light years, is a product of ancient supernova explosions. These events heated surrounding gas, creating a low-density, high-temperature region filled with hot plasma. Scientists have long known of its existence, but new observations from the eRosita X-ray telescope have provided unprecedented clarity.

“Temperature differences across the Local Hot Bubble reveal intriguing patterns, particularly between the northern and southern skies,” said Dr. L. L. Sala, lead researcher of the Max Planck Institute study.
