This bubble that circles the event horizon of Sgr A* takes just 70 minutes to whip around the black hole. It was observed by the Event Horizon Telescope.

A huge bubble that resembles Swiss cheese has been captured surrounding the Earth in new images by scientists. The 1,000-light-year bubble, which is known as the "local bubble", is a hollow sphere ...

What they have found is basically a gigantic plasma bubble floating in space with a diameter between 14 and 48 light-years (depending on its exact distance from Earth) and located about 2,200 or 7,700 ...

The bubbles, known as equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs), are found in the ionosphere — the region of the atmosphere over 30 miles (50 kilometers) above Earth's surface, where most of the gas has ...
