Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object in space, has crossed the termination shock, the last major threshold in the solar system, team members announced today at the annual American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana.

What I meant is that the scientists told us there was a clear boundary between the heliosphere and the outside. First they said there was a blow shock. Now we know the Sun doesn't have one. Then they said that the boundary would be when the solar wind stopped and there would be a sharp increase in cosmic rays. And thats what we've seen. But now they say were still inside the heliosphere because of the magnetic orientation. This new "in-between" area.

The heliosphere is the edge of the suns magnetic field. I was led to think there would be a sharp boundary. Now it seems to depend of interpretation. Is the edge where the influx of cosmic rays begins, or is it when the sun's magnetic field gives way to the galactic magnetic field? Thats all.
