He describes the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission as “IBEX on steroids,” with the same basic capabilities but at higher resolutions and taking additional measurements.

Yet despite the heliosphere being known and studied since the late 1950s, its hazy boundaries have only relatively recently come to light—with a surprising discovery. Just more than a decade ago ...

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 ...

NASA's Earth-orbiting Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) satellite detects particles coming from a boundary zone between the solar system and outer space, which is called the heliosheath. The ...

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 ...

This intel was gathered by NASA’s Earth-orbiting Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) satellite, which was launched in 2008 with the intention of studying the interactions between the ...

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 ...
