Topic: Our solar system is said to be in a local bubble in our galaxy.

boof started this discussion 2 weeks ago #137,394

I asked Brave how many stars are in this local bubble as described at Wikipedia:

The Local Bubble Wikipedia article does not give a specific star count. It states the bubble "contains the nearest stars and brown dwarfs" and names a few residents (the Local Interstellar Cloud, G-Cloud, Ursa Major moving group, and Hyades), but provides no total number.

The closest figure comes from the article's Talk page, where a user estimates roughly 214,000 stars using a radius of 150 light-years and the local stellar density — but that's a fan calculation, not a statement in the article body. The 2022 Nature paper cited by the article gives the qualitative picture: tens of millions of older stars inside the cavity and thousands of young stars on its surface.

A browser. I suppose they meant the default search engine?
