The magnetic field on border of Solar system "foams"

On suburb of Solar system the magnetic field "bubbles". To such conclusion experts after studying of the data from space vehicle "Voyager" have come, — researchers in accounting article in Astrophysical Journal share.

It is known that at present "Voyager" is on distance approximately in 14 mlrd km from the Earth. It is a boundary region where the magnetic field of the Sun and a solar wind test the greatest influence from similar making nearby stars of our galaxy.
Let's remind that the solar magnetic field, as well as at the Earth, has two poles – northern and southern. Thanks to a solar wind power lines are stretched in a direction to borders of Solar system. That fact is important that the Sun rotates also a magnetic field has folds which get off more close to edges.
Taking into account the new information on space particles from "Voyager" researchers have constructed computer model according to which "reorganisation" of power lines of a magnetic field leads to formation of "bubbles". Diameter of each such "vial" makes about 160 million in km.
