Map showing the Sun located near the edge of the Local Interstellar Cloud and Alpha Centauri about 4 light-years away in the neighboring G-Cloud complex. The Local Interstellar Cloud (LIC), also known as the Local Fluff, is an interstellar cloud roughly 30 light-years (9.2 pc) across, through which the Solar System is moving.
The Local Bubble, or Local Cavity, [3] is a relative cavity in the interstellar medium (ISM) of the Orion Arm in the Milky Way.It contains the closest of celestial neighbours and among others, the Local Interstellar Cloud (which contains the Solar System), the neighbouring G-Cloud, the Ursa Major moving group (the closest stellar moving group) and the Hyades (the nearest open cluster).
Animated 3D map of the nearest stars, centered on the Sun. 3D red green glasses are recommended to view this image correctly. A radar map of the distances ( ) and positions ( ) of all known stellar bodies or systems within 9 light years (ly) (for within 12 ly see this map).
This is a list of nearby stellar associations and moving groups. A stellar association is a very loose star cluster, looser than an open cluster. A moving group is the remnant of such a stellar association. [1] Members of stellar associations and moving groups share similar kinematic properties, as well as similar ages and chemical composition.
Map of the star local neighborhood within 1000 parsecs; the Sun is at the center. The Vela dark clouds is at 270° galactic longitude, bottom-center. The Milky Way in the direction of the Vela Molecular Ridge presents an overlap of objects and structures, all roughly aligned with the galactic plane; situations of this kind may tend to hinder the observation of large nebulae regions, due to the ...
Map of the star local neighborhood within 1,000 pc (3,300 ly), the Sun is at the center. The Serpens–Aquila Rift is at 40° galactic longitude, from the center moving outwards to top-right. The Milky Way as seen by Gaia, with prominent dark features labeled in white, as well as prominent star clouds labeled in black.
