... the heliopause ... marks the end of a region created by our Sun that is called the heliosphere. The Sun creates this heliosphere by sending a constant flow of particles and a magnetic field out into space at over 670,000 miles per hour.

CONT

Un peu comme l'huile ne se mélange pas à l'eau, le vent solaire et le milieu interstellaire ne sont pas tout à fait miscibles, le vent solaire crée donc une bulle dans le milieu interstellaire baptisée héliosphère. [...] l'héliosphère agit comme un bouclier pour tout ce qu'elle renferme et protège notamment notre fragile ADN des radiations les plus intenses de la galaxie. La limite extérieure de l'héliosphère porte le nom d'héliopause et marque le début de l'espace interstellaire.
