Chandra images young Sun‑like star blowing an X‑ray astrosphere bubble
NASA’s Chandra X‑ray Observatory has for the first time imaged a young Sun‑like star carving a hot, expanding astrosphere — a bubble of X‑ray–emitting gas driven by stellar winds that fully surrounds the star. The observation offers a rare look at processes analogous to the early Sun’s heliosphere.
