Excerpt;

The tail’s mostly made up of solar wind plasma and a magnetic field that extend forever outward behind the solar system, eventually merging back into the unremarkable blackness of interstellar space.

With more incoming data from IBEX and more number-crunching by the lab coat wearers here on Earth, we’re bound to find out more about this mysterious comet-like tail years down the line. But for now, it’s cool to know our little corner of the universe is its own shooting star.

This is incredibly fascinating. For the first time we are getting a glimpse of our Solar System traveling through space.

Ok it has a tail, now what direction are we going and when will we get there?

Maybe we will just collide with some other Solar system like some of these comets/asteroids tend to do? Create our own sort of big bang. Maybe this is what happened that has scientist believing there was a big bang. Just one Solar system/milky way colliding with another.
