It looks so horribly exaggerated in the artistic "freedoms" taken that it may no doubt confuse space science novices. Sure, sometimes things like scales are wrong (and this one is no exception), but here it's introducing some kind of fire when these parts are not visible at all. If an image is intended to illustrate concepts of gravity fields, the heliopause and things like that, I'd much rather prefer something like a more stylized/schematic drawing than this flashy picture. Because then it is at least usually understood nothing of it is invented by the artist, but just visualized for explaining the concepts. — Northgrove 10:45, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
