According to NASA, all the planets of our solar system are encased in a magnetic bubble, carved out in space by the Sun’s constantly outflowing material, the solar wind. Traditionally, scientists have thought of the heliosphere as a comet shape, with a rounded leading edge, called the nose, and a long tail trailing behind.

Our solar system looks like a deflated croissant, NASA has revealed after developing a new prediction of the shape of the magnetic bubble surrounding our solar system. Using data from NASA missions, an updated model of our solar system suggests the shape of the Sun's bubble of influence, the heliosphere, maybe a deflated croissant shape, rather than the long-tailed comet …
