The Sun moves through the local interstellar medium, continuously emitting ionized,
supersonic solar wind plasma and carving out a cavity in interstellar space called the
heliosphere. The recently launched Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft has
completed its first all-sky maps of the interstellar interaction at the edge of the heliosphere by
imaging energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) emanating from this region. We found a bright
ribbon of ENA emission, unpredicted by prior models or theories, that may be ordered by the …
