Trace back of all associations in both the literature sample (gray squares) and low-mass sample (colored circles). Here we present one time step 30 Myr before present, where overdensities of populations connected to the Local Bubble, Orion–Eridanus Superbubble, and the Collinder 135 (Cr135) and M6 Families from C. Swiggum et al. (2024) are evident. The online-only version shows the trajectories of these populations and their progenitor clouds over 60 Myr. This version of the figure can be interacted with in 3D by zooming, panning, and rotating. Mousing over a population provides basic information like position and age. We also include a button to limit the figure to only groups that have formed at a given time.
