874.0. "Heliopause???" by POLAR::STOODLEY () Wed Nov 03 1993 12:51

         I read in an astronomy magazine somewhere that both Voyagers
    are slowly edging closer to the *Heliopause*.  Voyager 1 is
    approximately 51 astronomical units from it and Voyager 2 is
    40 A.U. 
    
         Voyager 2, at its present speed, is supposed to reach the 
    Heliopause in the year 2010A.D.   My question is:  What exactly
    is the "Heliopause" and what does it represent in our galaxy?
    
    
    Thanks, 
    
    Blair
