Heliosphere (lead-images)

edit
Main article: Heliosphere
 
  
  • Top: the heliosphere travels through the interstellar medium (artist's concept):
    1. Termination shock: the solar wind collides for the first time with the interstellar medium, slows down and changes direction.
    2. Heliosheath: the outer region of the heliosphere; the solar wind is compressed and turbulant
    3. Heliopause: the boundary between solar wind and interstellar wind where they are in equilibrium.
    4. Bow shock: the shock wave caused by the heliosphere in the direction it travels through the interstellar medium.
  • Bottom-left: water running into a sink as an analogy for the heliosphere and its different zones
  • Bottom-right: the energy of the solar wind's particles drop drastically as the wind slows down at the termination shock

Still frame from a video transmission, taken moments before Neil Armstrong became the first human to step onto the surface of the Moon, at 02:56 UTC on 21 July 1969. An estimated 500 million people worldwide watched this event, the largest television audience for a live broadcast at that time.[1][2]
