Voyagers’ readings yield new clues about the solar system’s structure

The video discusses the boundary region where the sun's influence ends and interstellar space begins, known as the heliosphere. It highlights Voyager 2's findings of a sharp difference in magnetic particles and plasma density at the heliopause, suggesting it is thinner and less affected by solar cycles than previously thought. The sun creates the heliosphere by emitting solar wind, which interacts with interstellar winds, forming a distinct boundary.

What is the heliosphere and how is it formed?

What significant difference did Voyager 2 register at the heliopause?

What findings did researchers discover when comparing data from Voyager 1 and Voyager 2?

According to the New York Times, what role does the sun play in creating the heliosphere?

How do solar winds interact with interstellar winds in the heliosphere?
