The solar system is surrounded by magnetic bubbles

NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 probes after sliding toward stars 9 billion miles from Earth have discovered: Our solar system is surrounded by magnetic bubbles.

>> Rare phenomenon in the Solar System
>> The solar system is made up of . stones?

Scientists believe that the solar system is surrounded by a magnetic field, curved shape,
foam form.

These two probes were launched 34 years ago to make the most distant trip. Currently, two probes are moving at 38 mph around the region between the solar system and the stars. Data on the solar system are being transferred from two probes.

Accordingly, these bubbles are about 100 million miles wide, that is to take the width of the bubble, the probe will take about 1 week.

Merav Opher, NASA 's science doctor, said: 'The sun's magnetic field appears at the edge of the solar system. Because the sun was spinning, its magnetic field twisted and formed wrinkles, like a ballerina's skirt. "

The Voyager 1 probe was launched in September 1977, carrying a gold-plated disc, recording sounds and images of Earth, in case the probe met an outsider.
Earth.

When the magnetic field has wrinkles and folds, the magnetic fields will cross and connect with each other. When blasting, this phenomenon will produce magnetic bubbles. On the one hand, the bubble is a porous shield, allowing many cosmic rays to penetrate the gaps. On the other hand, cosmic rays can be trapped by bubbles.

Scientists have not explained why explorers are surrounded by bubbles, sometimes not. As the probe goes further, scientists hope to discover more interesting things.
