Data From Voyager 1 Points To Interstellar FuturePasadena CA (JPL) Jun 15, 2012 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 closer to an inevitable but historic conclusion - that humanity's first emissary to interstellar space is on the edge of our solar system. "The laws of physics say that someday Voyager will become the first human-made object to enter int ... read more |
