Must see video if you want to visualize the IBEX experiment. I know these days people like to watch things instead of reading about them, so here you go.



This one however is perfect for showing how the heliosphere shrinks and expands in reaction for forces outside of it. the whole crux of this is the heliosphere will shrink far in enough to leave the Earth immersed in the cloud itself, as it has in the past, and cause dramatic climate changes as well as aurora plasma and discharge (electrical) events and a host of other effects as explained by Dr. Frisch and her many papers.

Actually a good way to explain it would be, just as we get hit by a dense CME from the sun, the solar system can be hit by a much larger version of a CME from somewhere outside. Just as our magnetosphere shrinks and reacts to the charged particles from the sun, the sun's heliosphere shrinks and reacts to forces acting on it. Only charged particles, which is what a plasma is mostly, affect and get affects by magnetic fields.

Re: The FLUFFY MAGNETIC RIBBON NEMESIS of the PLASMA UNIVERSE
As we all have read probably recently, the world and your choices are being polarized. We are finding ourselves leaning more and more heavily to this camp or that camp. A blatant observation of this is America's political parties. A more realistic observation of this is either the intensification of alliance with a political party, or the abandonment of the political parties.

This polarization is the symptom of the next galactic evolutionary shift. Because this shift includes not only the lower realms of consciousness, i.e. the nuts and bolts of the universe, but also the higher realms, i.e. humans, and the much higher realms, i.e. planetary, and even higher, planetary systems, because of this, some of the changes that are to take place are beyond the human's ability to foresee. Some changes are imaginable, others are not. For those humans at the cusp of evolutionary potential, the changes they will experience are beyond our ability to imagine because the changes are not currently in the realm of human experience. Other changes can be foreseen by some humans because there are islands or pockets of human potential currently residing in the human experience.

During an evolutionary episode, non awareness is sucked into the next phase automatically. Limited awareness, such as the human experience, have a choice in whether to partake in the change. Some will move on, some will continue at stages they are currently in. This is not a negative thing. In the human experience, this is a culmination of choices that have been made setting the individual to be hurled into the coming event according to their projected path.

This thread illustrates the beginning of this evolutionary process. Because of the challenges ahead, your previous actions have committed you to a chosen path. When the SHTF, you will react accordingly.

Our brains communicate and calculate using electromagnetics. The sun communicates with itself and the planetary system using a similar process. The "ribbon" or cloud is like the DMT for the planetary system. It allows the communication between planetary bodies, and even the galactic center, to become wide open and the changes come flooding in. Get ready. Gonna be a ride! Word.
They weren’t all human, this breadth of life, this life I now perceived.
But creatures of a different type I soon found haunting me.

Intense cosmic ray flux in the past has always been accompanied by drastic climate change and evolutionary bursts. So while in reality things are a little more complicated and extreme, SikWilly is right in his own way of understanding things.

If you won't look, how about I shove it into your face because you won't look for yourself.

Abstract

The Solar System during its life has travelled more than 10 times through dense interstellar clouds with particle concentrations of 102-103 and more, compressing the heliosphere to heliopause dimensions smaller than 1 AU and thus bringing the Earth in immediate contact with the interstellar matter. For cloud concentrations greater than of 102 , the flowing interstellar material even at the Earth`s orbit remains completely shielded from solar wind protons and would only be subject to solar photoionization processes. We have developed a 2D-two-fluid gas-dynamical numerical code to describe the hydrodynamical behavior of the incoming interstellar gas near the Earth, taking into account both the photoionization and the gravity of the Sun.

As we show, the resulting strongly increased neutral hydrogen fluxes ranging from 109 to 1011 cause substantial changes in the terrestrial atmosphere. During the phase of the immersion into the cloud the resulting flux of neutral hydrogen incident on the terrestrial atmosphere in the steady state would be balanced by the upward escape flux of H-atoms and the downward flux of water molecules, which is the product of the atmospheric hydrogen-oxygen chemistry via even-odd reaction schemes. In that case hydrogen acts as a chemical agent to remove oxygen atoms and to cause ozone concentration reductions above 50 km by a factor of 1.5 at the stratopause to about a factor of 1000 and more at the mesopause. Thus, depending on the specific encounter parameters the high mixing ratio of hydrogen in the Earth's atmosphere may substantially decrease the ozone concentration in the mesosphere and may trigger an ice age of relatively long duration.

Plenty more there. Many different models showing the effects of different clouds.

Eons ago, giant clouds in space may have led to global extinctions, according to two recent technical papers supported by NASA's Astrobiology Institute.

One paper outlines a rare scenario in which Earth iced over during snowball glaciations, after the solar system passed through dense space clouds. In a more likely scenario, less dense giant molecular clouds may have enabled charged particles to enter Earth's atmosphere, leading to destruction of much of the planet's protective ozone layer. This resulted in global extinctions, according to the second paper. Both recently appeared in the Geophysical Research Letters.

"Computer models show dramatic climate change can be caused by interstellar dust accumulating in Earth's atmosphere during the solar system's immersion into a dense space cloud," said Alex Pavlov, principal author of the two papers. He is a scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The resulting dust layer hovering over the Earth would absorb and scatter solar radiation, yet allow heat to escape from the planet into space, causing runaway ice buildup and snowball glaciations.

Moderately dense space clouds are huge, and the solar system could take as long as 500,000 years to cross one of them. Once in such a cloud, the Earth would be expected to undergo at least one magnetic reversal. During a reversal, electrically charged cosmic rays can enter Earth's atmosphere instead of being deflected by the planet's magnetic field.

Now maybe they didn't teach you such complicated things in your geology major or these discoveries were made after you finished learning. But there is plenty of geological evidence for this from the ice core samples which shows the atmospheric density and composition, as well as cosmic ray flux to tree rings and geological features.

Plasmare, you are close.

What you need to know is right there in plain view. In the above video @ 2:42 minutes into it.

When the earth's orbit comes close enough to the fluff a rapid pole shift event will happen on earth. It will be the type of event that will happen over 1 to 2 days.

The earth will roil and then as the earths orbit moves away from the fluff the event will happen again.

An Extinction Level Event. Prepare accordingly.
