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.
