The Local Hot Bubble
The Local Hot Bubble is a cool, old supernova remnant that envelopes the solar system and much more besides. It is not spherical, more like the shape of a bent hourglass or a peanut shell. The edge of the bubble is at least 91 light years away in the Northern fields, rising to 358 light years in the Southern fields.

Loop 1 superbubble
The Loop 1 Superbubble is a big, young, hot supernova remnant that is located approximately 684 light years away from the Sun and is about 895 light years in diameter.

Hmmm... could the old, cool bubble be the actual source of the AL-26 enrichment our solar nebula received?

Be interesting if that enrichment happened in the middle of solar system development.
