NASA’s Cassini, Voyager Missions Suggest New Picture of Sun’s Interaction with Galaxy

It appears to me that some aspects of science are retarded medieval lacking; and astrophysics (which subsumes Cliemate Science) is a prime example. Astrophysicists assert only gravity and magnetism, while an alert six-year-old knows magnetism and electricity always and only co-exist.

Where am I going with this? There is searchable content in the forum on employing plasma flows to actively control airflows on a vehicle, for drag reduction or reacting to turbulence or crosswinds.

When charged particles from the inner solar system reach the boundary of the heliosphere, they sometimes undergo a series of charge exchanges with neutral gas atoms from the interstellar medium, dropping and regaining electrons as they travel through this vast boundary region. Some of these particles are pinged back in toward the inner solar system as fast-moving neutral atoms, which can be measured by Cassini. [snip] This means that long, comet-like tail that scientists envisioned may not exist at all — instead, the heliosphere may be nearly round and symmetrical.

So, by them studying plasma on a stellar level, I see evidence that plasma technology could make an aerobody in ground effect appear smaller and shorter [to ambient air] than it really is.

Ultimately, it may turn out like this:
