<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=3>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 face="Courier New" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=3>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>
