[edit] Aha! broken link here too

the link under the Heliospheric-current-sheet image has either expired or been tampered with, just as in the Sun article. There, I replaced it with what seemed to be the next best thing, this neighbour gif image, but it might not be so best at all. This field not my strong suit, so I leave it to those of you for whom it is ;) —MURGH disc. 01:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Composition and physical characteristics

"The interplanetary medium includes interplanetary dust, cosmic rays and hot plasma from the solar wind. The temperature of the interplanetary medium is approximately 100,000 K, and its density is very low at about 5 particles per cubic centimeter in the vicinity of the Earth; ... ." But what is the estimated mean density in, maybe, grams per cubic kilometre? 82.163.24.100 (talk) 19:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
