Voyager 2?s journey toward interstellar space has revealed surprising insights into the energy and magnetic forces at the solar system?s outer edge, and confirmed the solar system?s squashed shape.
Has Voyager 1 left the Solar System at last? The data have been ambiguous to say the least, with the number of announcements on the topic rivaling Spinal Tap drummers.
NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft launched 35 years ago today (Sept. 5). But the space probe has farther to go than thought to pass beyond the solar system's edge, scientists say.
Why Voyager 2 Is In Interstellar Space But Not Out of the Solar System There's a good difference between where the sun's energy ends and where its gravity ends.
Voyager explored solar system using 8-tracks and aluminum foil <b>Television •</b> PBS’ “Farthest — Voyager in Space“ recounts amazing journeys of probes built with 1970s technology.
And, rather than falling off a cliff when the probe reached interstellar space, solar particles continued to strike Voyager 2's sensors for more than 50 days after the transition.
