• Resumen

  • Henbest talks about National Aeronautics & Space Administration's (NASA) Voyager 1 spacecraft leaving the solar system. Its departure has hit the headlines many, many times--only for NASA to change its mind. Over the past decade, the veteran space probe has been in, out and even shaken all about. The Voyager 1 team would like to find out whether the probe has burst through the heliosphere. This is formed from the hot wind of particles, laced with magnetic fields, pumped out by the star.
