Jan 17, 2023 · Interstellar space is not empty but filled with gas, dust and energetic particles. We explore this cosmic medium in more detail here.
The Voyagers are destined—perhaps eternally—to wander the Milky Way. The Voyager interstellar mission extends the exploration of the solar system beyond the neighborhood of the outer planets to the outer limits of the Sun's sphere of influence, and possibly beyond.
Jul 26, 2022 · Humanity’s great leap into interstellar space – the space between the stars – is underway. NASA's Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes are both in interstellar space.
Dec 19, 2016 · With gravitational boosts from Earth, Jupiter and the sun itself, it could reach interstellar space in just 10 years. By comparison, it took Voyager 1 36 years to reach the heliopause, or the boundary of interstellar space.
