**1,000-light-year wide bubble **surrounding Earth is source of all nearby, young stars
One would presume that stars, whether young or not, that form more than 1000 light years away would not be classified as "nearby". I get what they are trying to say in the article, it's probably a bit more complicated than they are presenting though. Basically that the shock waves from super novae are causing density fluctuations that can trigger the formation of new stars in gas/dust clouds. The headline is a bit tautological though.
