Early-type stars blow bubbles in the interstellar medium. The radii of the bubbles are typically 30 pc. Typical conditions in their interiors are Tapprox. =10$sup 6$K and napprox. =0.01 cm$sup -3$. The dense shell of swept- up interstellar gas that surrounds them is likely to trap the ionization front and may also have an outer layer of H$sub 2$. The column density of O vi in the interior is in accord with observations by the Copernicus ultraviolet telescope.
