NASA's Voyager spacecraft has continued its extraordinary journey beyond the planets,

For more than four decades, NASA's Voyager spacecraft has continued its extraordinary journey beyond the planets, exploring the distant boundary where our solar system meets interstellar space.  One of its most remarkable discoveries was an extremely hot region of plasma reaching around 90,000°F, revealing unexpected conditions in one of the least explored areas ever visited by a human-made spacecraft.

 Scientists believe this mysterious region provides valuable clues about the heliosphere, the giant protective bubble created by the Sun, and how it interacts with the vast expanse of interstellar space.  Although the plasma reaches extraordinary temperatures, it is incredibly sparse, meaning it contains very little heat energy despite its high measured temperature.  The observations made by Voyager are still reshaping our perception of this far-off frontier. Even after traveling billions of miles from Earth, Voyager remains one of humanity's greatest scientific achievements.  Every new signal returned from the spacecraft helps answer long-standing questions while revealing just how much of the universe still waits to be discovered.
