Subject: [WSFA] Confirmed: Voyager 1 in Interstellar Space (finally?)
Reply-To: WSFA members <WSFAlist at KeithLynch.net>

Yes, again....

Excerpt:
  New data collected by NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft have helped scientists
confirm that the far-flung probe is indeed cruising through interstellar
space, the researchers say.

Voyager 1 made headlines around the world last year when mission
scientists announced that the probe had apparently left the heliosphere \342\200\224
the huge bubble of charged particles and magnetic fields surrounding the
sun \342\200\224 in August 2012.

They came to this conclusion after analyzing measurements Voyager 1 made
in the wake of a powerful solar eruption known as a coronal mass ejection,
or CME. The shock wave from this CME caused the particles around Voyager 1
to vibrate substantially, allowing mission scientists to calculate the
density of the probe's surroundings (because denser plasma oscillates
faster.)
