First awarded to Lena Horne in 1987, recent honorees include Ophelia Dahl, Sherrilyn Ifill, Melinda French Gates, Dolores Huerta, and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Earth Forced from the Protective Heliosphere: What Do We know?

Stars have winds. A star’s motion, with its wind, creates a cocoon or a sac-an “astrosphere”-and our Sun’s cocoon is known as the heliosphere. The heliosphere shelters our solar system from the interstellar medium and its radiation known as galactic cosmic rays. Recently, geologists discovered extraterrestrial radioactive isotopes on earth that could only have come from outside our heliosphere....
