The Loop I Bubble is a cavity in the interstellar medium (ISM) of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way. From our Sun's point of view, it is situated towards the Galactic Center of the Milky Way galaxy. Two conspicuous tunnels connect the Local Bubble with the Loop I cavity (the Lupus Tunnel).[1]

The Loop I Bubble is located roughly 100 parsecs or 326.2 light years from our Sun.
