We think both of them have. There's some quibble as to exactly when, and the data we're getting from the probes indicates that the boundary is more complicated than previously thought, but we think that Voyager 1 crossed it sometime in the 2003-2004 time frame, and Voyager 2 crossed it in late 2007.
What else can I help you with?
Where is Voyager 1?
Voyager 1 is about 109 AU (10 billion miles) from the Sun and has passed the termination shock, [See Link] and is entering the heliosheath, with the current goal of reaching and studying the heliopause, which is the known boundary of our stellar system.
Where is the 1977 launched voyager now?
There were two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. The most distant is Voyager 1 which is currently just of 10 billion miles from the Sun. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, both launched in 1977 are now both in the region of the solar sytem called the heliosheath, over 16 Billion kilometres away form the earth. The heliosheath is the region of the solar system between the Termination Shock Zone and the Heliopause
What did voyager discover?
On December 18, 2004, Voyager 1 passed the termination shock. This is the unofficial date of departure from the Solar System. Whilst the spacecraft still remains under the Sun's influence, at the termination shock particles from the interstellar medium interact with solar particles, signaling that the hypothetical heliopause is not far from this point. It did not discover anything, rather it inferred the existence of the heliosphere.
What is a termination shock region?
The Shock Front, also known as the Termination Shock is the area of space that surrounds the sun at a distance of approximately 80 to 100 Astronomical Units at which the solar wind slows from supersonic to subsonic speeds. This boundary is contained within the heliosphere.
What do astronomers think forms the heliosphere?
The heliosphere is the area of space affected by the flow of charged particles being thrown off by the Sun. The solar corona, sometimes known as the Sun's "atmosphere", is the lowest and densest layer of the heliosphere, but the heliosphere and the "sloar wind" actually extends out beyond any of the planets. The Milky Way galaxy itself has an environment of charged particles; where this meets the heliosphere is the heliosheath or "termination shock" layer. Only two space probes, the two Voyager probes, have reached the termination shock, which may be an irregularly shaped area somewhere between 75 AU from the Sun and 90 AU out. We have very little firm data about that area.
What is the heliosheath?
Heliosheath is a part of space which is out of our solar system and is just past the termination shock. What it is or what it does, i do not know, that will be something you just have to find out... Hope this helped... It probably didn't. Did it!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
What is the name of the astrological area that the gravitational force of the sun stop?
Depends - it is uncertain where the boundary is, but one possible answer is the termination shock (heliosphere) after that the heliopause. [See related link]
Where are voyagers 1 and 2 currently?
Voyager 1 is now the farthest man-made object from earth. As of September 26, 2008, it is about 107.58 AU (16.093 billion km, or 9.94 billion miles) from the Sun, and has thus entered the heliosheath, the termination shock region between the solar system and interstellar space. As of September 26, 2008, Voyager 2 is at a distance of around 87.03 AU (13.019 billion km, or 8.077 billion miles) from the Sun , deep in the scattered disc, and traveling outward at roughly 3.28 AUs per year. It is more than twice as far from the Sun as Pluto.
What was an effect of the Voyager mission?
We were able to measure the distance of the terminal shock from the sun and the effects it has on atomic and sub atomic particles, allowing us to predict what will happen when leaving the solar system
Where is spacecraft Galileo now?
Voyager 1 is about 109 AU (10 billion miles) from the Sun and has passed the termination shock, [See Link] and is entering the heliosheath, with the current goal of reaching and studying the heliopause, which is the known boundary of our stellar system.
What happened when sparky crossed the wires for his electric blanket and his toaster?
If Sparky crossed the wires of his electric blanket and toaster, there would likely be a short circuit, leading to a potential risk of electric shock, overheating, or even fire. It is extremely dangerous to mix different electrical devices in this way, so it should be avoided at all costs.
Who has traveled farthest from earth?
The Voyager 1 spacecraft is a 722-kilogram robotic space probe of the outer solar system and beyond, launched September 5, 1977, and currently operational. It visited Jupiter and Saturn and was the first probe to provide detailed images of the moons of these planets.Voyager 1 is the farthest human-made object from Earth, traveling away from both the Earth and the Sun at a relatively faster speed than any other probe. Though its sister-craft, Voyager 2, was launched one month earlier, Voyager 2will never pass Voyager 1. Neither will the New Horizons mission to Pluto, despite being launched from Earth at a faster speed than both Voyager craft, since during its flight Voyager 1 benefited from a number of gravity assisted speed boosts.As of December 7, 2007, Voyager 1 is over 15.67 terameters (15.67×1012 meters, or 15.67×109 km, 104.7 AU, 14.52 light-hours, or 9.79 billion miles) from the Sun, and has thus entered the heliosheath, the termination shock region between the solar system and interstellar space, a vast area where the Sun's influence gives way to the other bodies in the galaxy.Check out the Voyager Project website at: http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov
