Stellar winds from O and WR stars transfer large amounts of mechanical energy and momentum into the interstellar medium. They sweep up and compress the interstellar material, creating interstellar bubbles. These structures are detected as optical ring nebulae, as thermal radio continuum sources, as infrared shells, as neutral gas voids and expanding shells in the HI line emission distribution, and as molecular shells.
