Dear All,                        Sept 5, 2012
    Voyager 1 (Chron.Hrld. Sept. 5; B5) is about to exit the Solar system 
"...which is enveloped in a giant plasma bubble. This hot and turbulent area 
is created by a stream of charged particles from the sun." "Outside the 
bubble...scientists expect a calmer environment."

    Why would charged particles from the sun (inverse square law) have a 
greater effect just beyond the solar system than near the sun ?

Yt, DW, Kentville
