“The Voyager 1 spacecraft, the most distant human-made object, has reached the end or perhaps just the beginning of the end of our solar system, scientists said Wednesday.
As of Wednesday, 26 years after its launch, NASA’s Voyager 1 was 8.4 billion miles from the sun. That’s 90 times the distance separating the Earth from our star.
As the robotic spacecraft continues to push far beyond the reach of the nine planets, two teams of scientists disagree whether it passed into the uncharted region of space where the sun’s sphere of influence begins to wane.”
