This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Group58, Oort Cloud ???? Comets are remenants of the Oort cloud that are pulled out of their orbit., Solar wind ???? Fluctuating boundary where the sun's solar wind meets that of other stars, "What determines the outer edge of our solar system? Could other solar systems be much bigger?" ???? Oort Cloud, "What determines the outer edge of our solar system? Could other solar systems be much bigger?" ???? Oort Cloud, Heliopause Within the oort cloud Oort Cloud, Voyager ???? Because the sun spins, its magnetic field becomes twisted and wrinkled, a bit like a ballerina's skirt. Far, far away from the sun, where the Voyagers are now, the folds of the skirt bunch up, "What determines the outer edge of our solar system? Could other solar systems be much bigger?" ???? IBEX and Heliosphere, "What determines the outer edge of our solar system? Could other solar systems be much bigger?" ???? Voyager, Solar systems seem to be larger than ours: AU Microspcopii & HD 107146 ???? HD is approximately 3 times larger, Heliopause ???? IBEX and Heliosphere, Oort Cloud ???? No solid evidence for this yet but is commonly believed to be the outer region of the Solar System out to a distance of 2 light years., Solar systems seem to be larger than ours: AU Microspcopii & HD 107146 ???? Au is approximately 4 times larger, "What determines the outer edge of our solar system? Could other solar systems be much bigger?" ???? Sun's gravity, "What determines the outer edge of our solar system? Could other solar systems be much bigger?" ???? Potential "Planet X" yet to be discovered within our Solar system, No solid evidence for this yet but is commonly believed to be the outer region of the Solar System out to a distance of 2 light years. ???? Filled with between 0.1 and 2 trillion icy masses, Solar systems seem to be larger than ours: AU Microspcopii & HD 107146 ???? "What determines the outer edge of our solar system? Could other solar systems be much bigger?", IBEX and Heliosphere ???? Heliosphere, Potential "Planet X" yet to be discovered within our Solar system Where do they come from? Theory that they aren't planets but larger formations pulled from the Kuiper Belt., Heliopause ???? There is a foam at the edge of the solar system, "What determines the outer edge of our solar system? Could other solar systems be much bigger?" ???? Solar wind
