From [https://web.archive.org/web/20140225100416/http://ase.tufts.edu/cosmos/print_images.asp?id=28]: With its solar wind going out in all directions, the Sun blows a huge bubble in space called the heliosphere. The heliopause is the name for the boundary between the heliosphere and the interstellar gas outside the Solar System. Interstellar winds mold the heliosphere into a non-spherical shape, creating a bow shock where they first encounter it. The orbits of the planets are shown near the center of the drawing.
