A 3D map of our cosmic neighborhood has revealed hot and cold regions as well as an "escape tunnel" from our local bubble.

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. The investigation ...

Earth, between sweltering Venus and frozen Mars, formed and orbits within a band where water could persist in solid, liquid, and gaseous phases. Mars had surface water, but not as much as Earth, and ...
