Cosmic Wind

To be more exact, there is "interstellar wind" that originates from our galaxies center. The Heliopause is the boundary where the solar wind particles slow enough where they can no longer deflect the interstellar wind. Anything within the Heliosheath is protected from them.

Additionally, there are Galactic Winds that are particle streams between galaxies.

So to try and answer your question, there are:

1. Solar Winds
2. Interstellar Winds (Sometimes called Galactic Winds)
3. Galactic Winds (Sometimes called Intergalactic Winds)

Hello nothing to do with your subject, but rather a question. How do you apply a graphic such as the one you have used? I have seen various people use line drawings and other methods but I am just simple soul with not much brain power.

when you hit reply there is a small toolbar above your edit window.

click on the camera. click on Browse and find the picture you want to insert. click on open, submit

Hello Techno, Thank you for helping an aged brain out. I never new what all those symbals were. I've been trying to get a brain transplant for ages. Any going spare in your area? There was a time I was a genius now I am just holding on for the end.

I would just like to point out that the radiation you are considering

is so energetic that unless you're talking about a very large shielding

mass, the 'cascade` from incident radiation would be far more dangerous

that the origional 'incoming`.

That's an interesting consideration.

From all over, any direction possible for a particle to travel through space. Although some may be caught by a massive gravity field of a star, planet or a more generalised field such as a nebula, most are energetic photons, but others may be electrons, protons, and neutrons, and are classified as Alpha, Beta, and Gamma particles or particle-beams. Alpha and beta are mostly nucleons (protons and neutrons), and gamma are photons.

Being able to avoid a descent into a massive gravity field and mange to reach your tiny vehicle, they must be very energetic, thus posing a kinetic threat to it's integrity and instrumentation.
