  The more correct term for the "bubble" is the heliosphere, and the =
particles in it are formed from the solar wind and influenced by the =
Sun's magnetic field. When the particles reach the heliopause, as =
Voyager 1 is about to do, these come into "conflict" with the denser gas =
of the interstellar medium as well as the overall magnetic field of the =
Milky Way galaxy.=20

      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 ?
