Solar System’s Heliosphere Much More Compact, Rounded than Previously Thought
Apr 24, 2017 by News Staff / Source


Many stars show tails that trail behind them like a comet’s tail, supporting the idea that our own Solar System has one too. However, new evidence from NASA’s Cassini, Voyager and Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) missions suggests that the trailing end of the Solar System may not be stretched out in a long tail. The research is published in the journal Nature Astronomy.
