Creator's "Wall of Fire" for our protection from the interstellar winds
"NASA’s Voyager spacecraft have crossed the boundaries of the Solar System to uncover an astonishing phenomenon: a fiery, high-temperature “wall” beyond the outer reaches of our cosmic neighborhood.
This “wall of fire,” found in the boundary region known as the heliopause, marks the transition from the Sun’s influence to interstellar space. As the NASA Heliophysics program explains, the heliosphere—a bubble formed by the Sun’s solar wind—extends far beyond the orbit of Pluto, with the heliopause acting as the dividing line between solar and interstellar winds. ....When these spacecraft reached the edge of our solar neighborhood, they encountered a temperature spike—ranging from 54,000 to 90,000 °F—in a region now referred to as the “wall of fire.”
NASA continues, “The boundary between solar wind and interstellar wind is the heliopause, where the pressure of the two winds are in balance." msn
