The bubble is what happens when you exhale while chewing gum.

How big it is depends on how much air you force into it. Beware - too much air can make it go pop.

To get out of it just scrape it off your face.

For me the bubble consists of the core systems, like mentioned above. The grey area is some of the surrounds, so for simplicity I consider the original bubble only..... basically I don't include:
  • Robigo/Sothis/Ceos
  • Pleiades, and the stepping stone stations out to it.
  • Witch Head Nebula
  • Guardian region

Anything beyond those ranges, you're well outside the bubble already.
 
The bubble is the area defined by the Power Play influence spheres, I believe. Illustrated below:

Nowadays the Bubble refers to the colonized space around the Superpowers. It's borders are fluid, but as soon as there's no colonized system around you anymore you have left the Bubble.

Colonia and areas like the Pleiades or Witchhead, which have colonized systems, are not part of the Bubble though.
