Astronomers spot a young sun blowing bubbles inside the Milky Way
SMRTR summary
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory captured the first image of a young sunlike star called HD 61005 blowing a protective bubble of hot gas around itself, located 120 light-years away. This 100-million-year-old star creates an "astrosphere" similar to our sun's heliosphere but much stronger due to its youth, helping scientists understand how our own solar system's protective bubble formed and evolved over billions of years.
