DMT, 'shrooms and cannabis?

Evidently, there is no facility with which to 'image' the geometry of the Heliopause 'surface,' just to detect a change in exposure to cosmic radiation beyond its limit, at a single point in space.

Actually two lines in space?
Great News, everyone! The two Pioneer probes are mute, but there is a fifth.

New Horizons is an interplanetary space probe that ... was launched in 2006 with the primary mission to perform a flyby study of the Pluto system in 2015, and a secondary mission to fly by and study one or more other Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) in the decade to follow, which became a mission to 486958 Arrokoth. It is the fifth space probe to achieve the escape velocity needed to leave the Solar System.

ʻOumuamua was motionless relative to the Local Group when the Solar System plowed past it and flung it off on a tangent. Presumably, the Heliopause trails off in the opposite direction. Any visual representation would have to be conjectural. I think it's a limitation of the reportage, not the science.
