Heliosphere

The heliosphere is the immense magnetic bubble made up of our solar system, solar wind, plus the entire solar permanent magnet field. It stretches well beyond the particular orbit of Pluto. Except for localized regions near obstacles including planets or comets, the heliosphere will be dominated by material emanating on the Sun, although cosmic rays and fast moving neutral atoms can pass through the heliosphere on the outside.
