Astronomers have used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to identify for the very first time a bubble of hot gas, called an astrosphere, around a juvenile star named HD 61005. This discovery gives us an ...

The sun orbits the center of the Milky Way wrapped in a protective bubble of its own making, dubbed the heliosphere. And for the first time, astronomers have spotted a similar protective bubble ...

The star, HD 61005, is about 120 light-years from Earth. For the first time, astronomers have caught a much younger version of the Sun creating a giant bubble in space. The discovery was made using ...

Astronomers have spotted something unusual. A star, much like our own Sun when it was young, is blowing a bubble through space. The star, called HD 61005, lies about 120 light-years from Earth. It ...

A steady stream of particles forms a huge bubble around the Sun. Now, such a structure has been found around a Sun-like star for the first time. A research group has succeeded for the first time in ...
