Voyager Nears Edge of Interstellar Space

Lost in all the Curiosity hype (which is absolutely hype-worthy) is this little gem of information.

Voyager I is almost at the true edge of the solar system and is thus almost officially in interstellar space.  Ever since learning about the Voyager missions in college, I’ve been really excited to see what happens to them.  The end-game of both Voyagers is just them floating out of the solar system and reporting back as long as they can.

Very glad to see they’re not forgotten, and that since their launch in 1977 they’re still providing valuable scientific feedback.  Woohoo Voyager Mission!

Sense of the World Thoughts and ideas move the world. They're important, and like everyone else, I like to occasionally share what I'm thinking. I'm a writer with a philosophy degree and a MA in Film Studies, but my thoughts range on everything from Film and Philosophy to Art, Science, Writing, Sports, Social Science, Fiction, the future, the past, my daily life and observations, and, well, anything else I find worthy of sharing. I hope you enjoy what I write and that it makes you think yourself. Feel free to ask any questions!
