Sometime, possibly before the end of 2012, NASA’s Voyagers 1 and 2 may be the first human-made spacecraft to exit our solar system. Cruising through space billions of miles from Earth and the sun, both have crossed into Voyager probes, launched in 1977, an area near interstellar space, beyond the reach of the sun’s magnetic field. In the 33rd year after the probes are near the end of the solar system launched, they each are farther away from HELIOSPHERE Earth and the sun Way, way out there Large, elliptical region of space than Pluto and contin- Voyager 1 and 2 currently are in the around the sun through which ue sending informa- Heliosheath, the outermost layer of the VOYAGER 1 the solar wind extends and tion back to NASA. heliosphere where solar wind is slowed 11.1 billion miles through which the sun exerts a — Phil Geib, Chicago by the pressure of interstellar gas. from Earth magnetic influence.
