Let's look at neutral atoms coming toward Earth from outer space. Who looks at neutral atoms? We look at photons. We look at different hydrogen particles.

But here's their origin. these electrons from the sun go out, they hit the heliopause, so there's magnetic fields there, there's ions trapped in those magnetic fields, those electrons get captured by those ions, and they become neutral.

No. Anyway, while the ion is ionized, it is tied to the magnetic field and it's stuck out there. But once it becomes neutral, it is no longer stuck. It's no longer tied to the magnetic field. Because it has no charge. Because it has no charge. So some of them stream into the inner solar system. So you can get a map of the stuff that is in the magnetic field.

Raining back down. And they discovered that if you look at the galactic magnetic field, It wraps around our bubble, and perpendicular to that is a, just like we have a radiation belt around our planet, there is a belt around our heliopause. And so NASA goes, that's interesting. Now let's do a satellite that will look at that in way more detail.

Just the unknown. It's the exact same thing. You're going to find something you've never seen before, just like they did with Ibex. So now they're looking at acceleration from the sun. They're looking at acceleration in those magnetic fields. And they're testing the interstellar medium and what it's made of because those particles also stream in.

So that's why it's the interstellar mapping and acceleration probe.

Interstellar Media. Interstellar, I love that.

Quark Star. Okay. I thought no one would think of that. Turns out there was a lighting company on the West Coast named Quark Star.
