Abstract The outer heliosphere is inaccessible for repeated in situ investigations. One can, however, sample the charged-particle populations of that remote region from the inner solar system, including from Earth's orbit, by detecting the energetic neutral atoms produced by charge exchange between the energetic ions and the ambient neutral atoms. Fluxes of energetic neutral atoms emanating from the heliospheric interface region carry information on the thermalization of the solar-wind at the termination shock and the unmodulated anomalous cosmic rays, believed to be accelerated by the termination shock. We examine the techniques for viewing the outer heliosphere in energetic neutral atoms from within.
