We Are Currently Passing Through a Supernova Graveyard

Did you know our solar system is cruising through a giant bubble of superheated plasma, carved out by at least 15 nearby supernova explosions? In this video, we’re investigating the ancient expanding structure of the Local Hot Bubble, while racing towards its very centre. ▀▀▀▀▀▀ Astrum's newsletter has launched!
