Our Sun Is Moving More Slowly Than Thought


Reference:  http://news.yahoo.com/sun-moving-more-slowly-thought-183631909.html
Summary: Researchers thought that the sun was moving fast enough in space for our heliosphere to generate a shock wave for about a quarter of a century.  The shock wave that would have been created was known as a bow shock.
Critique: This is very good because it’s moving slower than researchers thought.  If it were moving faster that would be bad because the huge shock wave would be sooner than expected
Impact: This is a positive impact because now we don’t have to worry about the shock wave and we might even live longer
