QUOTE START:

Coherent, wave-shaped gaseous structure in the Milky Way

The Radcliffe wave is a coherent, wave-shaped gaseous structure in the
Milky Way, made up of interconnected stellar nurseries, stretching
over 9000 light years across.[1][2] It is the largest gaseous
structure ever seen in the disk of the Milky Way, and lies around 500
light-years from the Sun.[3] Its discovery was announced in January
2020 and its close proximity to the Sun surprised astronomers.

QUOTE END.
