Gazing out upon the apparently unchanging sea of stars around us, it's tempting to think of the Milky Way galaxy as static and everything within it as fixed and immutable.

    Are the wobbles just from the gas cloud being pulled by gravity from everything?

    The team’s measurements even suggest that the supernovae that virtually cleared the bubble of space in which the Milky Way resides was born in a cluster of stars within the Radcliffe Wave.

    Wait, the Milky Way is inside of a bubble generated by novae which were inside a cluster which is inside the Radcliffe Wave which is inside… the Milky Way?

      I wonder if that was meant to say our solar system. I’d check the original article for a hint if it wasn’t paywalled.
