A mysterious space tunnel was discovered in the Solar System — Science and IT
This denser plasma pierces the low-density region, creating a sort of “bridge” that may be part of a larger network of interstellar tunnels.
The Solar System is located in a region of space called the Local Bubble, a region of hot, low-density interstellar gas. New research has shown that this bubble has a unique space tunnel that connects the solar system with distant stars.
The tunnel consists of hot, high-density plasma, reports Earth citing results published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.
The local bubble was formed millions of years ago by supernova explosions. These events created a hot region of space with temperatures reaching a million degrees Celsius. It has a width of several hundred light years and is constantly expanding. New data obtained by…
