Kids love bubbles—especially blowing bubbles. Young stars may also love bubbles. Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory spotted a star, designated HD 61005, blowing an outer layer called an astrosphere. Winds from the star’s surface are inflating the bubble, filling it up with hot gas as it moves towards the cooler gas and dust surrounding it.

Our sun has a similar bubble around it called the heliosphere. HD 61005 is also similar to the sun in mass and temperature and only about 120 light-years away—pretty close in space terms. However, at only 100 million years old, it is much younger than our 5-billion-year-old sun. -Laura Baisas, news editor

This week we asked: What’s your earliest memory of listening to a radio?

P.F. told us:

My first vivid memory of listening to radio was in 1952. I was six years old and had the measles. To help my days in bed, alone in a dark room, my parents put their old round-cornered radio console in my bedroom, an unheard of luxury. I spent days looking for and day-dreaming about the little cast of people living in the innards of the radio - Amos and Andy, Fibber McGee and Molly, many musicians and singers, as well as static that I thought was Tin Pan Alley. I was lucky I wasn't electrocuted.
