Voyager 2 reaches interstellar space, becomes second to leave the heliosphere

​University of Iowa researchers have reported on November 4, 2019, that the spacecraft Voyager 2 has entered the interstellar medium (ISM), the region of space outside the heliosphere or the protective bubble particles and magnetic fields produced by the Sun….

NASA’s Voyager 1 enters new region of deep space – magnetic highway

NASA scientists have announced entry of Voyager 1 in a new region in deep space, which they’re calling a magnetic highway for charged particles; presumably the last leg of Voyager mission’s journey. In this region, magnetic field lines of sun are found connected to

Has Voyager 1 already left our solar system?

Has Voyager 1 already left our solar system?

As noted before, Voyager 1 is at the edge of our solar system. Science enthusiasts around the world are eyeing Voyager 1’s progress as such an incident will mark another giant leap for humanity. New data suggests it has already happened. There were three things

Voyager 1 approaching solar system’s frontier

Data from NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft indicate that the venerable deep-space explorer has encountered a region in space where the intensity of charged particles from beyond our solar system has markedly increased. Voyager scientists looking at this rapid rise draw
