What are These “Magnetic Bubbles” at the Edge of the Solar System?

did you know about these TRIPPY things?

Do you know about this BIZARRE phenomena taking place?  As telescopes and mathematical formulas get more sophisticated, the “things” we are finding continues to amaze astronomers and science fans alike.  THEY found magnetic bubbles in our own area of the galaxy…really close actually by cosmic standards.

Here is a bit more information on how these bubbles were detected:

The Voyager spacecraft have now found that when the separation of sectors becomes very small, the sectored magnetic field breaks up into a sea of nested “magnetic bubbles” in a phenomenon called magnetic reconnection. The region of nested bubbles is carried by the solar wind to the north and south filling out the entire front region of the heliopause and the sector region in the heliosheath.

This discovery has prompted a complete revision of what the heliosheath region looks like. The smooth, streamlined look is gone, replaced with a bubbly, frothy outer layer.

Would you ever have thought these types of space phenomenon were there?

Let’s watch a video on these weird formations on page 2

    If they are at the end of the universe how can they tell if they are magnetic? Can you actually visually detect magnetism?

    It’s an interstellar blockade set up by every other species in the universe designed to keep the disease that is humanity from spreading and infecting anything outside our solar system.
