KITCHEN SINK HELIOSPHERE: If the solar wind is like a stream of water spreading out on a flat sink bottom, then the boundary where the flow breaks against onrushing soapy water (interstellar gas) is the termination shock (recently encountered by the spacecraft Voyager 2) and the region of slower-moving water beyond it is the heliosheath.

Still working after all these years, I guess they lost money on the extended warranty for the plutonium power packs the salesman talked them into...

Amazing that far out, we can still pickup on the craft’s radio transmission.

The shock wave, or heliospheric termination shock, occurs when the supersonic wind thins to the point that it can no longer rebuff the denser haze of charged particles flowing through interstellar space. Instead, the solar wind suddenly collapses in on itself.Uhmmm...no?

Michelson-Morley, anyone?
Funny thing is that I read they actually did find a difference, but it was deemed by the “establishment” at that time to not be enough to be statistically significant.
