<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Courier New">The heliosphere is divided into two
separate regions. The solar wind travels at roughly 400 km/s until it collides
with the interstellar wind; the flow of plasma in the interstellar medium. The
collision occurs at the termination shock, which is roughly 80–100 AU from the
Sun upwind of the interstellar medium and roughly 200 AU from the Sun
downwind.[77] Here the wind slows dramatically, condenses and becomes more
turbulent,[77] forming a great oval structure known as the heliosheath. This
structure is believed to look and behave very much like a comet's tail,
extending outward for a further 40 AU on the upwind side but tailing many times
that distance downwind; but evidence from the Cassini and Interstellar Boundary
Explorer spacecraft has suggested that it is in fact forced into a bubble shape
by the constraining action of the interstellar magnetic field.[78] </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Courier New"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Courier New">Both <STRONG>Voyager 1</STRONG> and
<STRONG>Voyager 2</STRONG> are reported to have passed the termination shock and
entered the heliosheath, at 94 and 84 AU from the Sun, respectively.[79][80] The
outer boundary of the heliosphere, the heliopause, is the point at which the
solar wind finally terminates and is the beginning of interstellar
space.[21]</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>The music by Bach as played by Glenn Gould (WTC ) is about to leave
(in about 4 years if I heard properly) our Solar System and travel into
that Cold Solitude known as Space!</DIV>
