A diagram illustrating the Sun's movement through the Local Interstellar Cloud, a region of mostly hydrogen gas within the Milky Way galaxy. The diagram shows the Sun's trajectory and the relative positions of nearby stars like Sirius, Alpha Centauri, Procyon and Altair, within a 10 light-year radius. The cloud's motion is indicated, along with the direction of the Sun's movement towards the galactic center. The image highlights the complex structure and dynamics of the interstellar medium.

Illustration depicting the Sun's journey through the Local Interstellar Cloud (Local Fluff), a region of the interstellar medium within 20 light-years. The image shows the Sun's direction of motion, its location relative to nearby stars (like Sirius and Alpha Centauri), and the flow of interstellar gas. Data from the IBEX satellite contributed to creating this map of our solar neighborhood.

False-color image of an all-sky HI (neutral hydrogen) survey. The bright band across the center represents the plane of our Milky Way galaxy, showing vast clouds of hydrogen gas tens to hundreds of light-years across. These structures are shaped by stellar activity within the galactic disk. The image is based on radio wave emissions from hydrogen atoms at a wavelength of 21 centimeters.

Stunning infrared image of the Milky Way's dust tapestry, revealing intricate filamentary structures within 500 light-years of Earth. Red depicts gas at 10 Kelvin, white at 40 Kelvin. The pink band is warm gas in the galactic plane. Bright regions show dense molecular clouds forming stars; dimmer areas are diffuse interstellar gas and dust. This image combines data from the Planck and IRAS satellites, providing insight into our galaxy's history and star formation.
