The 'heliopause' is the hypothesized boundary separating the outflowing solar wind from the interstellar medium. The outer heliosphere itself is a problem of topical interest because several spacecraft are presently cruising towards the terminal shock of the heliosphere. While there have been theoretical and computer simulation studies of this boundary, there has so far been no laboratory simulation. We have now performed such a simulation, and the results are presented here. The results indicate the possible existence of such a boundary as being highly axiasymmetrical in the case of the low Alfvenic Mach number of the local interstellar medium.
