Where is the heliopause located?
Quick Answer
The heliopause is the outer boundary of the Sun’s heliosphere, where the solar wind meets interstellar space.
The Full Story
The heliopause is not a visible surface but a boundary in the outer Solar System. It marks the region where the outward pressure of the solar wind is balanced by the pressure of interstellar gas and magnetic fields. Voyager 1 reached it in 2012, and Voyager 2 in 2018, giving humanity direct measurements of this frontier. It lies far beyond Pluto, in interstellar space.
