Heliosphere (lead-images)
[edit ]- Top: the heliosphere travels through the interstellar medium (artist's concept):

- Heliopause: the boundary between solar wind and interstellar wind where they are in equilibrium.
- Bow shock: the shock wave caused by the heliosphere in the direction it travels through the interstellar medium.
- Bottom-left: water running into a sink as an analogy for the heliosphere and its different zones
- Bottom-right: the energy of the solar wind's particles drop drastically as the wind slows down at the termination shock

- Dates are landing dates in UTC. Except for the Apollo program, all soft landings were unmanned.
- Luna 2 was the first man-made object to reach the surface of the Moon (bottom-left). Still frame from a video transmission, taken moments before Neil Armstrong became the first human to step onto the surface of the Moon, at 02:56 UTC on 21 July 1969. An estimated 500 million people worldwide watched this event, the largest television audience for a live broadcast at that time.[1] [2]
