The camera view moves from the heliosphere 'nose', the apparent direction of the heliopause relative to the interstellar wind, towards the 'knot'. The 'knot' represents a direction of high emission of neutral atoms which has changed significantly in the six months since the first IBEX map.
IBEX Observes Changes in Heliopause Emission
We fade-in an artistic conception of the 'knot', which untangles during the six months as we fade to the second IBEX map.
