NASA's
Voyager 1 spacecraft has traveled beyond our solar bubble and has
entered interstellar space. During a NASA Headquarters briefing, the
Voyager team assessing the data determined the craft is in a
transitional region immediately outside the solar bubble where some
effects from our sun are still evident. New, unexpected data indicate
that Voyager 1 has been traveling through the plasma, or ionized gas,
that originates in the space between the stars. The spacecraft is now
bathed in interstellar plasma, the material ejected from the death of
nearby stars millions of years ago. Speakers on the occasion were - Ed
Stone- Voyager project scientist, California Institute of Technology;
Don Gurnett - Voyager plasma wave investigation principal investigator,
University of Iowa; Suzanne Dodd - Voyager project manager, Jet
Propulsion Laboratory; and Gary Zank, physics department chair,
University of Alabama in Huntsville.
