1) Empty space has no heat; only the background radiation and the heated matter in it. An individual atom can be very hot; it certainly would be starting its life inside a super nova. But because there's no air blowing on it (convection) and there are no cooler atoms touching it (conduction,) it stays hot; it doesn't lose its heat. 2) It's a 'bubble.' Think of an explosion. The material starts at a central point and flies outward. The interior of the bubble is essentially empty. If you are an observer in space, the edge of the bubble would approach you and then pass you. As it expands, it gets thinner and thinner. A few million very hot atoms impacting the Earth would have very little effect. And once the bubble passed us, the surrounding space would returns to it's near absolute zero temperature.
Querries.... 1. Is it better to be inside the bubble? 2. Are we going to cross the boundary layer? 3. What can this X-Ray producing layer show us by reflection or omission of its signal (due to dark bodies, dark matter, rogue planets, lensing ....)? 4. How big is its radiative footprint? 5.

Would the supernovae influence the life on the planet in any way via the peanut shaped cloud? It seems amazing to me that the greatest explorers of our history are just scientists in a lab, such an interesting discovery.

40% of the X-rays are present interactions and 60% are past interactions from supernovas. Still does not answer the question "Can solar wind create a bubble without the help of supernovas?"
Does this mean that life on earth evolved only under these special, out of the ordinary conditions? Does this have implications for the probability of finding life in other solar systems?
There's no indication that the conditions here are special or out of the ordinary. It's just the anthropocentric view that because we're here, this is a special place The rational view is that this place is ordinary and we, as ordinary living creatures, just happen to be here. We don't have detailed direct observations of other planets, so it's still possible that there is something extraordinary about our region of space, but there is no evidence so far, so there's no reason to assume that it is.

At 10 million years ago, life was very advanced. The dinosaurs perished at 65 million years ago. The real question would be what effect did it have on Earth, in terms of climate and also biology - evolution.
Holy shit! I thought the solar system developed from a spiraling gas cloud when a nearby supernova compressed the system ... to find out that that supernova was actually more likely a cluster of supernovas which were a lot closer to home and left behind a super-hot low-density bubble around our local space is series of disturbing thoughts. Why isn't this discovery discussed more? PS, +1 subscriber.

CR Opportunity More likely the gamma radiation received on this planet mutated our ancestors into a new pathway to us. 10 million years ago is just about right.
Iva Nielsen makes case for an electromagnetic sequence which appears to fit an older report about Wolf Rayet mystery. Diff event but likely to be thought of again I guess.
Something bothering me lately: A supernova is caused by lack of fusible elements such as Hydrogen to Silicon in a star to keep fusing into heavier elements right? Well if all the Hydrogen was used up, how does the area of the past supernova have enough hydrogen left for our Sun to even form? Shouldn't it have all been used up and fused into helium and heavier elements? Do the surrounding elements left-over have enough time to decay back into hydrogen for the process to restart in the same place?

MerciaKitsune question can be answered by an expert I recall in a higher ed place. The notion of temperature is a notion of rapid high movements of particles and not requiring the density to pressurise them apparently. Guess the experts should be sought after afore I lose my confidence in science as much.
Yula Kharina comment makes me ponder that the rocks in our solar forming region must have come from another exploding star system with planet(s)like ours;worth thinking of alongside.Guess another think tank is to arrive given time.
No. We could pass right through that hot gas and feel nothing. Why? Because a gas with only one atom per liter of space is too little to be felt, no matter how hot it is. You're thinking in terrestrial terms, not cosmic. That liter of space is COLD. There is no air to diffuse the heat from one atom throughout that empty cold space.
fastermx thanks for the reply. but may i continue and ask whether the massive speed of a space craft through this space, wont accumulate by the friction between this sporadic super tiny hot particles for creating any hitting effect? i mean because of the enormous speed of a space craft that will pass through it wont it condensate those spreaded particles into hit?
***** Not quite. A supernova is a gravity event, while a fission bomb (it makes lighter elements, so it's not fusion) is a concentrated decay event. A fusion bomb is more like our sun, in that it slams together hydrogen to form helium, but much more efficient then the sun. (The energy output of the sun is comparable to that of a beetle, I believe. There's just a lot more sun then there is beetle, so the sun wins on quantity :D)
Nobody can know that yet. It'll take a very long time before we do. We do know, though, that there was abundant life on Earth when those supernovae blew up, and that life on Earth was NOT eradicated. So the stars that blew up were not near enough to incinerate the planet. The rest is still in the "question-mark" stage. Yet to be learned.
glorys9 - That's not true. There were many ancient civilizations that were quite knowledgeable about astronomy. Most were in Asia and Africa. Then, later in the Americas.
Racist? against what? The only race is the HUMAN race. Color is because of where you live in the world, and how much protection you need from the sun. You want to call someone a Racist? How can they be a Racist, are they not human? Maybe you shoudl call them a colorist??? Its all stupid. Its invented by governments in order to keep the sheeple at odds. In the words of Puck, 'what fools these mortals be' ... like sheep to slaughter? Just keep talking N.A.S.A...like you could ever be part of THAT!
well if space is moving from east to west I guess it would be a supernova most probable. lol Do we know in which direction space travels? Talking about newer galaxies are born in one area vs looking in another direction and the larger or older galaxies.
Jokers- 'charge exchange' lol what ever next? They are just trying to admit that that there is some form of electricity in space whilst trying to totally ignore the fact that we live an Electric Universe rather than a mechanistic one as believed in by scientism. These people should really go back to school and study electrical engineering and plasma physics.
Please visit Zooniverse, there's a science project on these bubbles, to which you can participate. There are many other projects you can also contribute to eg. NEO's or CME's. It's a citizen science portal, please contribute. Thanks.
Sorry, but I'm calling bullshit on the 1 million degrees hot thing. First of all, you said we're inside this bubble. Last time I checked it isn't 1 million degrees outside. Also, 1 atom per 0.001 cubic centimeters? Don't atoms need to run into each other to produce what we know as "heat"? Generally the less pressure, the less heat. Also, the surface of the sun is only a few thousand degrees. You're trying to tell me the space around us "filled with almost nothing" is 20 times (or more) hotter than that? Bullshit. Just because someone observes some background radiation around us doesn't mean it's time to draw some fantastical conclusions out of thin air despite all (other) evidence to the contrary. In short, citation needed.
You truly do NOT understand much about the science involved. You draw your conclusions from your own experiences in Earth's environment, and assume that what applies on Earth applies everywhere. Space is VERY different. An atom that is a million degrees could touch you and you'd feel nothing, even on Earth. But on Earth, that ONE atom's heat would quickly dissipate among the atoms all around you. In space, it can't dissipate to anywhere. So the atom stays hot. You could only be burned by it in space if googobs of hot atoms hit you at once. If you were exposed to the temperature of space where one atom per liter of emptiness was a million degrees, you'd still freeze. There is nothing shameful in being ignorant. Ignorance is very curable, and the cure can even be fun. But to apply your ignorance to reject things you know nothing about, and claim to know better, is pure arrogance. I'm not going to educate you. If you really want to know how those atoms can be a million degrees, dig out the information for yourself. It's what I've had to do. You presume to know more than the scientists do, without even TRYING to understand what they are saying. That's not normal, innocent ignorance. It's being "ignorant-and-proud." Which IS shameful.
fastermx "Hot atoms"? Sounds like I'm not the only one who needs a science lesson. Atoms don't have temperature. Heat comes from billions upon billions of molecules vibrating and bouncing off each other. The energy from such collisions/vibrations is released as heat. The individual atoms themselves have no temperature. Also, that whole thing about applying "earth physics" to space is complete bunk; physics are physics and they are the same across the entire universe, otherwise the universe would not exist.
