  * Local Bubble: A peanut-shaped underdense
    region, about 300 light years long and filled with very thin  (0.001 atoms per cc) and hot
    (roughly 1 MK) gas, that surrounds the Solar System; It was discovered gradually in the
    1970s and 1980s, and associated in the 2010s with a cluster of supernovas 10 Myr ago.
