Heliopause: The Boundaries of Our Solar System

Author(s): Anthony Blaise

 As our solar system travels through the Milky Way galaxy, it creates a protective bubble around itself called the heliosphere. The heliopause marks the boundary between the solar system and interstellar space, where the solar wind encounters the interstellar medium. This invisible yet significant region is a frontier of scientific exploration, revealing insights into the dynamic interactions between the Sun and the vast expanse of the cosmos. In this article, we will delve into the heliopause, its characteristics, and its importance in understanding the complexities of our cosmic neighbourhood.
