IBEX: Exploring The Edge of Our Solar System — Jump into the secrets of our Solar System and discover more about how the heliosphere protects life on Earth and explorers in space. This short video will answer different questions about the IBEX mission and will help you learn more about the edge of our Solar System. Credit: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center

IBEX: What are the Boundaries of our Solar System? — There are several boundaries at the edge of our solar system. The IBEX mission will study these boundaries to help us understand how they protect life on Earth and astronauts in space from the galactic cosmic rays coming from interstellar space. In this video you will find out what the boundaries of our solar system are. Credit: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center

An animation showing the position of the IBEX spacecraft and its field of view superimposed on a diagram of the heliosphere. The cones that extend from the IBEX spacecraft represent the field of view of the IBEX-Hi and IBEX-Lo Sensors as the Earth travels around the Sun each year. The black lines show how the data from the space craft is mapped to a two dimensional diagram over the course of a year. The data in the diagram is simulated data and the drawing is not to scale.

The cones that extend from the IBEX spacecraft represent the field of view of the IBEX-Hi and IBEX-Lo Sensors as the spacecraft spins on its axis. The black lines show how the data from the space craft is mapped to a two dimensional diagram as the spacecraft spins four times a minute. The data in the diagram is simulated data and the drawing is not to scale. Credit: The IBEX Team/Southwest Research Institute
