Index of Subjects My understanding is that the "waves" of them pile up at the edge of solar space much in the same way waves get closer and cause more turbulence at the edge of a pond after you through a pebble into it. It isn't totally comparable, but that is how it was explained to me.

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 ?
