- The invisible frontier of our solar system
- On October 19, NASA will launch a new spacecraft named IBEX, short for 'Interstellar Boundary Explorer.' Its mission, which will last about two years, is to refine what the Voyager spacecraft experienced in 2004 when 'an invisible shock formed as the solar wind piles up against the gas in interstellar...
