Heliosphere 2-3 Myr ago –speed. (a) meridional plane (b) equatorial plane showing the trajectory of Earth. When Earth will be inside the heliosphere the Galactic Cosmic Rays will be filtered by the heliosphere and there will be an increase of HEPs. (c) zoom of panel b on the termination shock. The termination shock at these small distances is a parallel shock. -- astro-ph.EP
