The heliosphere is a comet-shaped-like object. Nasa´s diagram. This phenomenon is a consequence of the wind pushing up against the matter coming from other stars. |
Nasa's Voyager 1 probe is nearing the edge of our solar system after 33 years and nearly 11 billion miles of spaceflight. Voyager 1 has traveled about 10.8 billion miles (17400000000km) from the sun since it launched on Sept. 5, 1977 on a mission to swing by the gas giant planets of Jupiter and Saturn.
The spacecraft may make the final crossing into interstellar space in just four more years, Nasa announced today.
The Voyager 1 spacecraft has entered a region of space in the outer solar system where the speed of solar wind. Nasa´s scientists think the steep drop in solar wind speed is a sign that it has been blown sideways by a more powerful interstellar wind that blows in the spaces between stars.
But in the interstellar space, sure, we have no 3 dimension, and the speed of light is no longer valid, and what more, we will shall know something about it.
We had no idea how far we would have to travel to get outside the Solar System. We now know that in roughly five years, we should be outside for the first time,Edward Stone, the Voyager project scientist, told BBC
News.
But there will be some problem; the electromagnetic field, where the normal radio message will be moving, is the size of the heliosphere.
May have further frequencies, where the connection works, however it will now be tested.
