1) By definition, the distance from the Sun to the Heliopause is published at 100-AU.
2) If you take a string that's 100-AU in length, and swing it in all directions from the center of the Sun, it describes an imaginary sphere, of 100-AU radius.
3) If you wish to redefine this imaginary structure as asymmetrical, then the specificity of its dimensions must be globally recognized.
4) Today, without protest from the rest of the astronomical community, PhD astronomers are reporting the distance from the Sun to the Heliopause as 100-AU.
5) Which by default, describes a sphere.
6) Please publish your source and dimensions which formally refute the 100-AU metric.
7) I'm aware that our solar system is moving through an interstellar medium as we orbit our central black hole.
8) If hydrodynamic forces are perturbing the solar wind that's not a surprise, however, if you're going to advocate for an asymmetric Heliopause, it's incumbent upon you to unpack that narrative, providing bona fides.
