Title
Short narrated video about the Interstellar Boundary Explorer spacecraft and mission. For complete transcript, click here . IBEX: Observing the Sun's Horizon
The solar journey through space is carrying us through a cluster of very low density interstellar clouds. Right now the Sun is inside of a cloud that is so tenuous that the interstellar gas detected by IBEX is as sparse as a handful of air stretched over a column that is hundreds of light years long. These clouds are identified by their motions. No Labels. Credit: NASA/Adler/U. Chicago/Wesleyan NASA's IBEX Spacecraft Reveals New Observations of Interstellar Matter
