Space can surprise even those who spend their lives studying it. People often think of our solar system as just a few planets and a bunch of empty space.

Yet new observations suggest we have been living inside a hot, less dense region, and that there may even be a strange cosmic channel connecting us to distant stars.

After years of careful mapping, a new analysis reveals what appears to be a channel of hot, low-density plasma stretching out from our solar system toward distant constellations.

Astronomers from the Max Planck Institute recently confirmed it using data from the eRosita instrument. Dr. L. L. Sala, lead researcher, and colleagues shared these findings in a paper published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

It’s just gooey melted mozzarella cheese like on a hot pizza when you pull apart the first slice.

I got an invite. Said I was coming. They replied “What do you humans eat?” which I thought was hospitable of them. I looked at it closer, it actually read “What humans do you eat?” but I’m sure it was simply a transposition error.

If it’s a tunnel, the Demokrats will find a way to tax it.

“...plasma stretching out from our solar system toward distant constellations.”

Aren’t they all quite ‘distant’?

That’s probably the trail our Solar System has left behind after it got kicked out of a decent part of the galaxy.

Actually, there used to be a discrete channel connection, however now it's all on cosmic wi-fi

Nicky Tesla claimed to get messages from space aliens. OK. So here we are. “The Feringi are having a clearance sale, closing up the bar. Workers are demanding five minute breaks and more pay. Dimwit nephew is inclined to give it to them. The end! No more! Say? You earthlings got any slaves you want to get rid of?”

Unfortunately the Vogons built it and designated it as one way traffic only and it’s all coming this way.

One of Robert Heinlein's novels is called Tunnel in the Sky but he meant something different than this.
