Also known as G-Cloud complex, Galactic cloud

The Galactic cloud, G cloud, G-Cloud or G-Cloud complex, is an interstellar cloud located next to the Local Interstellar Cloud, within the Local Bubble. It is unknown whether the Solar System is embedded in the Local Interstellar Cloud or in the region where the two clouds are interacting, although the Solar System is currently moving towards the G-Cloud. The G-Cloud contains the stars Alpha Centauri (a triple star system that includes Proxima Centauri) and Altair (and possibly others).

La Nube G​ (en inglés: G Cloud​) es una nube interestelar ubicada a un lado de la Nube Interestelar Local. No se sabe con certeza si el Sistema Solar está inserto en la Nube Interestelar Local o si está en la región en donde ambas nubees interactúan, aunque actualmente el Sistema Solar se está moviendo en dirección a la Nube G. La Nube G contiene a las estrellas Alfa Centauri (un sistema estelar triple del que es parte Próxima Centauri), y Altair (y posiblemente otras).​​​​​​
