Several events have been identified of an ion foreshock extending up to 250 RE upstream of the Earth. These events occur mostly during periods of slowly drifting radial interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) when the I-min average values of the strengths of the IMF and the solar wind (SW) speeds are mostly steady. For their analysis an analytical solution to the problem of the closest approach of an IMF line to two spacecraft is given. We used this method to find intervals of magnetic conjunction between the bow shock and the upstream regions at GEOTAIL and Wind. This solution is obtained by determining the minimum angle θ (as a function of time) between the mean direction of the IMF (measured at Wind) and the vector-difference (
