NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has encountered a new environment more than 11 billion miles from Earth, suggesting that the probe is getting ready to leave the solar system.
The Voyager 1 probe has entered a region of space with a markedly higher flow of charged particles from beyond our solar system, researchers said. Mission scientists suspect this increased flow indicates that the spacecraft — currently 11.1 billion miles (17.8 billion kilometers) from its home planet — may be poised to cross the boundary into interstellar space.
