Interstellar Boundary Explorer

A new study uses IBEX data and simulations of the interstellar boundary to better describe space in our galactic neighbourhood.

What is out there at the edge of our solar system? Scientists using data from NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) have pinned down an interstellar magnetic field which lies at the very edge of the giant magnetic bubble surrounding our solar system called the heliosphere.
