The Final Frontier - Now with Termination Shock
I am fascinated by this article about Voyager 2.

Quote:
"The termination shock is 1 billion miles closer to the sun in the southern hemisphere than in the northern hemisphere," Stone said, referring to regions of space on either side of plane in which the planets orbit the sun. "There's something outside pushing in on the field of the heliosphere. We believe it's a magnetic field distorting an otherwise spherical surface."
