Photo 8 Oct 437 notes jtotheizzoe: Voyager 1: beyond the edge of the solar system at last? This graph may hold the tell-tale pieces of data showing that Voyager 1 has left the Solar System. The sudden reduction in the number of charged particles that hit the craft’s detectors signal that it crossed some sort of boundary in September. Perhaps this means that it is no longer being bombarded by the solar wind, and that it has reached interstellar space? (via Basic Space)

Voyager 1: beyond the edge of the solar system at last?

This graph may hold the tell-tale pieces of data showing that Voyager 1 has left the Solar System. The sudden reduction in the number of charged particles that hit the craft’s detectors signal that it crossed some sort of boundary in September. Perhaps this means that it is no longer being bombarded by the solar wind, and that it has reached interstellar space?
