Yeah, our solar system is located inside of a bubble (not the heliosphere) that is most likely left over from a supernovae billions of years ago.

Fun fact: if we are in the middle of a reflection nebula, we wouldn't know. It'd be too dim and diffuse from inside to tell without lots of measurements from outside of our solar system.
