The interactive figure shows the shape of the LHB in the western Galactic hemisphere along with the dust, nearby bubbles and structures in the solar neighbourhood. The colour of the LHB reflects the LHB temperature in keV. The x-axis points towards the Galactic centre (check 'Controls' > 'gridVisible' to make the grid visible).
If the plot looks too busy, uncheck the box under 'Objects'> 'object_to_hide' > 'visible' in the K3D panel to hide some objects.
