One of the reasons why the existence of the Local Interstellar Cloud was so mysterious was because, millions of years ago, a large cluster of
supernovas exploded in the vicinity of our solar system. This massive explosion triggered the formation of a high-pressure supernova exhaust, a cloud
of gas heated to millions of degrees. The Local Fluff is entirely surrounded by these remnants, and should have therefore been dispersed or destroyed
a long time ago. However, it would now appear that the strong magnetic field outside our solar system is keeping the helium and hydrogen atoms, all
heated to about 6,000 degrees Celsius. Our Sun is moving through a Local Interstellar Cloud as this cloud flows outwards from the Scorpius-Centaurus.
Gas clouds after they form begin to fall toward the Galactic plane. Chandler wobble, Earth’s wobble of its axes coincided with the galactic
alignment with the galaxy roughly every 26 thousand years. Our Solar System orbit’s the black hole of our galaxy roughly every 26000 years. 2012 we
will be passing through the Galactic Equator where galactic gravity is the strongest running more or less through the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Schoenberg (1964) has shown that dust clouds have a FAR FROM random alignment, and that they show a strong preference for apparent elongation along
the plane. Dense dust clouds show a definite tendency to align themselves parallel to the galactic plane. In the statistical sense the alignment is
extremely significant for the probability that it has arisen by chance from a random distribution is extremely small.
The discovery of interstellar material in the 20th century led to speculation that encounters with dense clouds initiated the ice ages.(Shapley,
1921), and many papers appeared that explored the implications of such encounters, including the influence of interstellar material on the
interplanetary medium and planetary atmospheres. Until ten years ago, most astronomers did not believe stardust could enter our Solar System. Then
ESA's Ulysses space probe discovered minute stardust particles leaking through the Sun's magnetic shield, into the realm of Earth and the other
planets. Now, the same space probe has shown that a flood of dusty particles is heading our way. Since early 1992 Ulysses has been monitoring the
stream of stardust flowing through our Solar System. Much remains unknown about the local ISM, including details of its distribution, its origin, and
how it affects the Sun and the Earth. The Heliosphere is highly sensitive to the density of interstellar gas, and it could fail almost completely if
the Sun passed though a dense cloud of gas, exposing the Earth to massive amounts of harmful radiation. Observations by the DUST experiment on board
Ulysses have shown that the stream of stardust is highly affected by the Sun's magnetic field. Dmitriev offers compelling evidence that matter and
energy containing ions of hydrogen and helium and hydroxyl are entering our solar system in increasing numbers that are having powerful effects on all
our planets. Increases in cosmic dust which is being attracted by the Sun’s magnetic field fuels the Sun’s affects of Earth weather. In 2003,
cosmic dust into our solar system recently tripled and the pace is expected to grow over the next decade. The rate is expected to stay constant until
2005, and then increase by another factor of 3 prior to 2013. The solar system may not be a nice round shape, but rather a bit squashed and oblong,
according to data from the Voyager 2 spacecraft exploring the solar system's outer limits. The stardust is embedded in the local galactic cloud
through which the Sun is moving at a speed of 26 kilometers every second. As a result of this relative motion, a single dust grain takes twenty years
to traverse the Solar System.
