The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) is NASA's next Small Explorer. The Explorer Program develops low-cost, rapidly developed space science investigations.

The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) is a small satellite already orbiting Earth. IBEX has special instruments gathering ...

NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft has made the first observations of fast hydrogen atoms coming from the Moon, following decades of speculation and searching for their ...

NASA launched the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft last year to investigate the edges of the heliosphere — the insulating bubble the sun creates around the solar system. IBEX ...

When it comes to studying the region of interstellar space just beyond our solar system, nothing seems to work quite the way scientists imagined.

NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer mission, or IBEX, successfully launched from the Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific Ocean Sunday. IBEX will be the first spacecraft to image and map dynamic ...

NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission is working to remotely define the edges of the bubble. (The heliosphere is the bubble; the heliopause its edge.) [What's Next for NASA's ...

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 ...

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.

NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer, known as IBEX for short, methodically measures samples of the mysterious neighborhood beyond our home. IBEX scans the entire sky once a year, and every ...

A satellite that will make the first map of the boundary between the Solar System and interstellar space has been selected as part of NASA’s Small Explorer program. The Interstellar Boundary ...

The results are in from the first all-sky map created by NASA's new Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft, which launched in October 2008. While orbiting Earth, IBEX monitors incoming ...
