Once upon a time in galactic history, a cluster of stars detonated to form fantastical supernovas.

By sheer coincidence, experts say, our very own sun flew directly into this bubble.

Most surprisingly, they found it’s the main reason we have an oddly rich neighborhood of young stars.

Somehow, we’re in one of the cheesy holes.

Goodman is also the founder ofGlue, the data visualization software that enabled the discovery.

Zucker wonders, “Where do these bubbles touch?

How do they interact with each other?

How do superbubbles drive the birth of stars like our sun in the Milky Way?”
