Scientific paper

A new map is presented of Galactic plasma turbulence derived from the results of a recent interplanetary scintillation radio survey using a method of analysis based on the angular size distribution of radio sources. The map reveals that structure persists to high Galactic latitudes and that it agrees with the morphology of the soft X-ray background. These results suggest that the solar neighborhood is encapsulated in an envelope of plasma turbulence, most probably the relic of the supernova explosion of a nearby massive star.
