Answer to Question 1

X-ray telescopes in space reveal that we are surrounded by hot, X-ray-emitting gas coming from nearby in every direction. Surrounding this hot gas lies a region of much cooler gas. This suggests that a number of supernovae have detonated within our stellar neighborhood over the last several million years and that we and all our stellar neighbors live inside a hot bubble.
