"NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer Discovers Ripples in Heliosphere"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by SciTechDaily
NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission has discovered that the heliosphere, the magnetic bubble created by the Sun that we live in, has ripples that change over time, likely due to influences from the Sun itself. These ripples could be caused by changes in the outward pressure of the solar wind, and the boundary of the heliosphere, called the heliopause, may change and oscillate over time. Future NASA missions will help us discover more about this mysterious bubble we live in.
