Two of Monday's articles involved regions of stellar gas. From Vienna was noted three star cluster-families. The regions formed 155 clusters starting around 40 million years back. They were formed by local explosions, not ingestions of other galaxies.
(I'd have got to this earlier but boy-howdy did we have a lot to discuss last week.)
The three regions are hereby named after the clusters the Austrians deem interesting: Collinder 135 (Cr135), the sixth Messier fuzzy (M6), and Alpha Persei (αPer). It seems one knock-on effect blew out (what's now) our Local Bubble which walls might have overpowered the heliosphere and dumped Iron-60 all over this place.
