An isolated massive star can blow a bubble, while a group of massive stars can blow superbubbles. In this paper, we examine three intriguing questions regarding bubbles and superbubbles: (1) why don’t we see interstellar bubbles around every O star? (2) how hot are the bubble interiors? and (3) what is going on at the hot/cold gas interface in a bubble?
