And the heliosphere isn't the only magnetic field that shields the Earth from cosmic radiation.

I deduce that you are referring to the Magnetosphere. Youtube wanted me to see this:
It turns out that the Heliosphere isn't spherical, it's a rough crescent. The Sun's polar jets give it a spindle shape which is bent by the Galactic wave that travels along the arms. I would call the resulting turbulence a Vortex street, but this video calls it
Plateau-Rayleigh Instability.
This affects how much Cosmic radiation is received.
