00:00:03,389 --> 00:00:09,690
We're thinking about the region beyond the termination shock. And the

2
00:00:09,690 --> 00:00:16,020
termination shock is a region where the supersonic solar wind go through a shock.

3
00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:21,900
You can think about a big waterfall that the solar wind goes and starts slowing

4
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:25,560
down as it's approaching the interstellar medium.

5
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:31,830
Now the heliopause is what separates us from the rest of the galaxy,

6
00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:39,000
the interstellar medium. So the Sun with its wind, it's curved like a bubble in

7
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,850
the interstellar medium and the wind coming from the sun clashes against the

8
00:00:44,850 --> 00:00:50,659
interstellar medium and forms this boundary that we call the heliopause.
