text: This means that long, comet-like tail that scientists envisioned may not exist at all -- instead, the heliosphere may be nearly round and symmetrical.
text: New data from Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) experiments on NASA’s Cassini and Voyager spacecraft, combined with measurements from NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer, suggests that the heliosphere — the bubble of the sun’s magnetic influence that surrounds the inner solar system — may be much more compact and rounded than previously thought.

text: By timing particles echoing off the boundary of the heliosphere and correlating them with ions measured by the twin Voyager spacecraft, Cassini scientists concluded that the heliosphere is actually very nearly round and symmetrical: neither a comet nor a croissant, but more like a beach ball.
