NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft officially has become the first human-made object to leave the solar system and venture into interstellar space, scientists confirmed yesterday. The 36-year-old probe, which launched in 1977, is about 12 billion miles from our sun.
New data indicate Voyager 1 has been traveling for about one year through the plasma, or ionized gas, present in the space between the stars and is in a transitional region immediately outside the solar bubble.
