Discover the mind-bending theoretical physics behind the 50,000-degree wall at the edge of our planetary system. This deep dive into space mysteries and astronomy exposes how Voyager 1 and 2 discovered a "singing" boundary that guards all life on Earth from the severe truth of the galaxy.
TL; DR: Scientists have discovered a huge, superheated plasma "wall" at the heliopause that acts as our planetary system's primary radiation guard. While it burns at a shocking 50,000 Kelvin, an unusual temperature level paradox keeps it from melting our spacecraft. This video explores the "croissant" shape of our heliosphere, the strange IBEX ribbon, and the scary proof that this guard has collapsed in the past-- plunging Earth into the cold devoid of interstellar clouds.
In this video, we check out: ✅ The 50,000-degree temperature paradox at the heliopause. ✅ Why the solar system may actually be shaped like a "deflated croissant." ✅ The "singing" plasma waves spotted by Voyager 1. ✅ Proof of the Local Lynx of Cold Cloud and its effect on Earth's history. ✅ How the IBEX ribbon serves as a magnetic fence for our solar system.
