• Resumen

  • The article reports that information sent back to earth from deep-space probe Voyager 2 suggests the solar system is uneven. Solar wind appears to move farther north than south. Also, after crossing a shock front, Voyager 2, to the surprise of experts, found the heliosheath much cooler than anticipated. Scientist must now readjust their model of the solar system to account for both discoveries. INSET: Collecting Atoms from Beyond.
