“Every one of our measurements to date, until the Voyagers crossed the heliopause, has been filtered through all the different layers of the sun,” Rankin says. A diagram of the heliosphere ...

"This is what we've all been waiting for. Now we're looking forward to what we'll be able to learn from having both probes outside the heliopause." Once power goes out, the two craft will continue ...

The solar wind flows outwards from the Sun, past all the known planets, before finally slowing down and becoming subsonic (slower than the speed of sound) when it reaches the heliopause.

The nose direction should have the shortest distance to the heliopause – the boundary between the heliosphere and the local interstellar medium. An artist’s depiction of the heliopshere – the true ...

The nose direction should have the shortest distance to the heliopause – the boundary between the heliosphere and the local interstellar medium. No probe has ever gotten a good look at the ...

Franklin Institute Chief Astronomer Derrick Pitts travels to the edge of the solar system (heliopause) at the new''Wondrous Space'' exhibit. (Emma Lee/WHYY) From Philly and the Pa. suburbs to South ...

Of the multitude of spaceships sent out there on various missions, only two of them, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, reached the outer edges of our solar system, a place called heliopause. The heliopause ...

Just in time for Halloween, scientists have discovered something spooky and strange occurring at the edge of the solar system: The heliopause — the boundary between the heliosphere (the bubble ...

We've got exciting new discoveries from the JWST, ripples in the heliopause, a new solar observatory from China, and an absolutely-guaranteed-100-percent-can't-possibly-miss launch date for NASA's ...

During the last decade, they crossed the boundaries known as the termination shock and heliopause, the so-called edge of the Solar System where plasma originated from the Sun is no longer dominant ...

The probes' crossing into interstellar space may have been clearcut, but the heliopause — a "twilight zone" between the bubble-like heliosphere and interstellar space — had unexpected properties.
