NASA’s Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft delivered groundbreaking data that expanded our understanding of the solar system’s outermost edge,a region scientists call the "cosmic coastline." This is ...

Researchers have looked into how far away the Voyager spacecraft could go while we could still detect them, and worked out ...

Essentially, the helicity "barrier" alters turbulent dissipation, changing how fluctuations dissipate and how the plasma is heated. The team has now analyzed data from the Parker Solar Probe, and it ...

Voyager 1 from Jupiter to the Heliosphere: A legacy of discovery Voyager 1 is first launched in 1977 and extended beyond it-all expectations to become the first man-made object into space.

Both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, launched in 1977 ... These particles are largely blocked by the heliosphere (our Sun's protective bubble), so the sudden influx signifies passing through a protective ...

Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 has traveled billions of miles, crossing the heliosphere, the bubble of solar wind surrounding our solar system, and continuing its mission in the vastness of space.

Engineers have mitigated an issue with Voyager 1’s thrusters, enabling the mission to stay in touch with mission controllers on Earth and send back unique data.

The two Voyager probes are both now beyond the heliosphere, and are the first spacecraft to get a taste of interstellar space. Voyager 1 left the heliosphere in 2012, while Voyager 2 left in 2018.

By 2012, Voyager 1 became the first spacecraft to enter interstellar space, where they have continued transmit data on plasma waves, magnetic fields and particles in the heliosphere – the ...

Voyager 1 has been sending a stream of garbled nonsense since November. Now NASA engineers have identified the fault and found a potential workaround.

Before Voyager 1, scientific data on the sun’s gases and material came only from within the heliosphere’s confines, according to Dr. Jamie Rankin, Voyager’s deputy project scientist.
