In 2008 NASA launched the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX), which orbits Earth and samples particles called energetic neutral atoms that stream in from the edge of the heliosphere.

Getting samples of the undisturbed interstellar magnetic field could also help map the distribution and shape of the interstellar clouds of gas and dust that surround our solar system such as the ...

NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) reset its flight computer Feb. 18 and has been unresponsive to commands ever since, agency officials said Friday (Feb. 24).

NASA’s IBEX (Interstellar Boundary EXplorer) orbits Earth but tracks changes at the edge of the Solar System. Astronomers made use of a particular event back in 2014 when the pressure of the ...

In 2009, using NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer, also known as IBEX, astronomers spied a strange ribbon-like structure dancing between our solar system and the rest of interstellar space ...

Using data from NASA’s Earth-orbiting Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) satellite, which detects particles from the boundary layer between the Solar System and interstellar space, the ...

Now researchers have learned more about the boundaries of the heliosphere. NASA's Earth-orbiting Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) satellite detects particles coming from a boundary zone between ...

Reisenfeld and his team used data gathered from the NASA Earth-orbiting Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) satellite that detects particles derived from the heliosheath, which is the boundary ...

They've produced the first ever map of its boundary, called the heliopause, where solar winds are brought to a stop by the interstellar medium.

For over a decade, NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has been probing the outer edge of the heliosphere, or the 'bubble' that surrounds our solar system, to better understand the ...
