Examples of heliopause
heliopause
The boundary created between the solar wind and interstellar gas is the heliopause.
From the sciencedaily.com
But does the heliopause really constitute the edge of the solar system?
From the economist.com
Depending on how squashed the heliopause is, Voyager 2 could leave the solar system first.
From the newscientist.com
The precise distance to, and shape of the heliopause is still uncertain.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The heliopause causes turbulence in the interstellar medium as the sun orbits the Galactic Center.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Eventually, after a decade or so, it should cross the heliopause and venture into interstellar space.
From the economist.com
That picture showed that there was more material getting through the heliopause than there should be.
From the time.com
Beyond the Kuiper belt lies the scattered disc, the heliopause, and ultimately the hypothetical Oort cloud.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A solar wind of plasma particles constantly streams outward from the Sun until it reaches the heliopause.

- Heliopause are a U.K. band based in Belfast and Brighton, led by filmmaker Richard Davis . The band is known for performing in unusual locations, having recently played in May Street church , the Ulster Hall , the Palm House at Botanic Gardens , the dome over Belfast's Victoria Square shopping ...
- The boundary surface between the solar wind and the external galactic medium.
- The outer edge or limit of the heliosphere. Beyond the heliopause, the Sun's emissions of particles and its magnetic field are not detectable above the background of galactic space.
