NASA (The National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has made the first all-sky maps of the heliosphere. As BBC correspondent declares, the scientists and map researchers were more than surprised, when they discovered that the map was bisected by a bright, winding ribbon of unknown origin. They think, "the ribbon is not a source of light, but rather a source of energetic neutral atoms." Till here, researchers have known that the solar system is surrounded by a huge bubble of magnetism, called heliosphere, but this incident has changed the widely-spread theory of astronomers. The complete information was published today on NASA’s website. "This ribbon winds between the two Voyager spacecraft and was not observed by either of them," notes Eric Christian, the NASA’s scientist. Also, he thinks, that all the astro-researchers must observe this so called cosmos-event.
The NASA’s researching group is eager to see if the ribbon is changing permanently. So they are planning to make a second sky-map
