CME Within Our Heliosphere
January 9, 2013
This image shows a coronal mass ejections (CME) from the vantage point of outside our heliosphere. CMEs can propagate from the Sun to the boundary of our heliosphere with interstellar space. IBEX will study the interaction between the solar wind and the material beyond our solar system called the interstellar medium. Credit: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center/Walt Feimer
