Summary

[edit]
Description
English: New interstellar speed and flow direction in longitude (red, Bzowski et al., ApJ Suppl., 2012; yellow, Möbius et al., APJ Suppl., 2012) in comparison with the previous result (blue, Witte, Astron. Astrophys., 2004) and astronomical observations of the nearby interstellar clouds (grey, Redfield & Linsky, ApJ, 2008). While the previous interstellar flow result seemed to fall between the two nearest clouds, the new result puts the solar system right into the local cloud.
