The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has now been imaging the Solar System boundary and collecting interstellar wind from our galactic neighborhood over more than 4 years at the same time the two Voyagers are knocking at the boundary.
With this exciting, unprecedented constellation of spacecraft, we track changes inside the protective bubble of our home system as the Sun increases its activity from an extended quiet state.
Dr. Eberhard Mobius of UNH, a lead scientist on the IBEX team, will illustrate and draw you into a discussion of the latest news.
