You Are Here - Local Bubble

Great post at John Baez's blog - http://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/2012/12/27/our-galactic-environment/

Its very cool to have an even greater perspective on where we are and whats around us.  Wasn't that long ago that our view barely extended to the solar planetary system, and now we visit its farthest reaches with spacecraft.  How long before there is some kind of plan to explore this wider vista?  Distance, duration, and speed limits will frame how the exploration will occur, and how we will come to understand it, but I bet it will occur.
