Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers have created a 3D map of the low-density bubble of X-ray-emitting, million-degree hot gas that surrounds the solar system.

By the time its power dwindles, it will likely have completely redrawn the map of the outer solar system. The new results from the SDC were published on Feb. 1 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters .
