Okay Joe (or anybody), I have a question. If someone on a distant planet took an astro-photo type picture of our little star, would the heliosphere show up as something similar to the Bubble Nebula?

We can't even "see" the heliosphere from Earth. So, I think the latter half of your question is correct: the gas and particles that comprise the heliospher would not be visible. I doubt if other instrumentation that we have at our disposal in our earth-based technologies would show anything, either.

Oops, let me rephrase that last statement a bit: I think the heliosphere (i.e. OUR sun's astrosphere) might be too tenuous to show anything, but the astrospheres or stellar wind bubbles of other stars are observable from earth. Planetary nebulae, I believe, are a special case of an old star's astrosphere that allows it to be seen in visible light.

Yes, I think that is mostly correct, although the mechanism doesn't necessarily have to be explosive. Also, what is "seen" should be better defined. Actual astrospheres (except for planetary nebulae and perhaps some other relatively rare types of stars, such as Vega, which has an apparent dusty disk) are not observed so much in visual light as they are in other areas of the electromagnetic spectrum, due to the much higher energies from mostly electron and proton particles emitted by the star. I don't pretend to know astrophysics as well as others, so someone else may correct me, but I think I'm right.

Mike: We know about the solar wind because of particle detectors like the one listed in the upper left column on SpaceWeather.com. It's proton and electrons in a plasma too hot to form atoms of hydrogen. We see planetary nebulae because an old star has balooned up to a giant phase and sloughed off its outer mantle containing mostly hydrogen but also many atoms of oxygen nitrogen and sulphur. These atoms are seen by us because they are excited by the ultraviolet light of the exposed core of the old star. These atoms emit light in narrow bands which we can see in the light spectrum. DT
Hi Mike, I feel nothing would be visible. But that's just an opinion. Thanks, Joe --- On Mon, 12/27/10, M Wilson <astro_outwest@yahoo.com> wrote:

You know, that's an excellent question. My 2 cents: The heliospheres of dwarf-type stars (such as our sun) are tiny, mere light-hours in diameter. Planetary nebulae are huge in comparison, light-years across, and with higher densities. When referring to solar wind behaviors at extreme distances, we are actually talking about pressure regions and magnetic flux lines, rather than a visible, obviously material structure.
From Wiki: "The point where the solar wind slows down is the termination shock; the point where the interstellar medium and solar wind pressures balance is called the heliopause; the point where the interstellar medium, traveling in the opposite direction, slows down as it collides with the heliosphere is the bow shock."
Here's the entire Wiki entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliosphere

No, God is just. It's an acquired taste. It's actually more a matter of breeding and social class. You either like L&O, or you come from peasant stock. There. I wouldn't want to insult anyone's religious dietary capacities. ;o)
Welcome back Chuck. Now that you're back I can go back to being the list's Vice Curmudgeon. LOL On 12 Jan 2011, at 21:43, Chuck Hards wrote:

Kind of like Lufthansa where their aircraft have two classes of passengers: 1) First class 2) Non-German :)
WELL, YES, DAMMIT, YOU OVERREACTED!!!! (kidding...)

Hi Chuck. Nice to have you back. Now what was that question that I had about religion? No - take that back - it was a question about archaeoastronomy. ;-)

Thanks Chuck (and welcome back to the list). What you wrote makes sense. If our sun's heliosphere was visible to outside observers in some solar system far far away, then obviously almost all the stars we see in the night-time sky would have observable heliospheres. If that were the case, then objects like the Bubble Nebula would be something of a ho-hum sort of thing not worthy of Tyler Allred's, David Rankin's or Joe Bauman's time and effort. --- On Tue, 1/11/11, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote: From: Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] So Long, Solar System To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Tuesday, January 11, 2011, 10:23 AM On 12/27/10, M Wilson <astro_outwest@yahoo.com> wrote:
Okay Joe (or anybody), I have a question.
If someone on a distant planet took an astro-photo type picture of our little star, would the heliosphere show up as something similar to the Bubble Nebula? Or is the gas and partricles just to tenuous for it to be detected.
You know, that's an excellent question. My 2 cents: The heliospheres of dwarf-type stars (such as our sun) are tiny, mere light-hours in diameter. Planetary nebulae are huge in comparison, light-years across, and with higher densities. When referring to solar wind behaviors at extreme distances, we are actually talking about pressure regions and magnetic flux lines, rather than a visible, obviously material structure.
From Wiki: "The point where the solar wind slows down is the termination shock; the point where the interstellar medium and solar wind pressures balance is called the heliopause; the point where the interstellar medium, traveling in the opposite direction, slows down as it collides with the heliosphere is the bow shock."
