Story summary

Researchers mapped the Milky Way's Local Hot Bubble (LHB) using eROSITA data, identifying a low-density area around the solar system.
They discovered interstellar "tunnels" linking to the Centaurus and Canis Major constellations, likely created by stellar winds.
This network could alter our understanding of cosmic structures and dynamics.
