What else can I help you with?
Where is the space probe now?
If you are talking about Voyager in is just entering the Heliosheath or 110.94 AU from the Sun or 10.312 billion miles
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
When will voyager 2 leave the solar system?
That kind of depends on where you consider the boundary of "the solar system" to be. It's currently in the "heliosheath" and will probably reach the heliopause... which is one reasonable definition of "outside the solar system"... within the next ten years or so. Voyager 1, which is further away and moving faster, is expected to reach this boundary in about 2015, but Voyager 2 reached the heliosheath significantly closer to the Sun than Voyager 1 did... this boundary appears to be "dented" in the direction that Voyager 2 is heading. Voyager 2 is well outside what most non-scientists think of as "the solar system" already... it's over twice as far from the Sun as Pluto is, for example.
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.
Places that cant be polluted by humans?
So far we haven't been able to pollute beyond the heliosheath, unless you consider electromagnetic radiation a form of pollution. (If you do, then our current limit is a sphere about 40 parsecs in diameter and expanding). Other than that... we're pretty darn good at polluting.
Where is Voyager 1 and 2 relative location?
The simple answer is that they are both in the heliosheath. The complex answer is that if you take the X,Y,Z coordinates of both satellites, you can determine their position relative to each other. I would do that math for you, but when I checked NASA is no longer posting Voyager position coordinates to their Web site. But when they put them back up, we may be able to do that calculation.
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.
Does electromagnetic waves require matter to travel through?
No. However 'space' is not the empty nothingness envisaged 100 years ago, but is now termed the 'interstellar medium' (ISM) or intergalactic (IGM) and the 'quantum vacuum' is considered as 'teeming with activity', now also from the 'Higgs field' which promotes condensed matter (normally termed 'pair production'. in Earth's ionospheric shock particle densities are up to 10^14/cm^-3. Mainly considered as electorns. Hight Electron or 'dark matter' densities also exist in the heliosheath (solar system bow shock) and galactic halo. For a real picture of another suns heliosheath lit up by nebula gas google NASA LL Orionis. So em waves may not in theory need 'matter' to propagate, but atomic scattering means they are charging and being re-emitted by particles continually, and any CHANGE in their optical angles (paths) or wavelengths (so frequencies) does require coupling interaction with matter (the foundational mechanism of refraction).
Does the Earth and other planets move around the Sun?
The existence of large objects like planets or stars curve space and time. As the Earth goes around the sun it is in fact falling into the sun. The problem is that the sun and other planets are also moving. Gravity from the sun's previous location takes time to reach the Earth and planets such that the gravity from another location reaches the targets first. As the Earth and other planets reach a location where it might be moving in; the sun moves again, and other planets impart their gravity as well. The gravity of the sun becomes diluted throughout the heliosheath because of this weakening the effect of gravity even further.
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 are the measurements of the solar system?
The solar system or heliosheath (the point at which the Solar wind has no influence) is generally regarded to be between 10 & 14 AU (1 AU = 93,000,000 miles). This should be defined more accurately as the Voyager space probes travel into this area. As at June 2010 Voyager 1 encountered an area where the solar wind slowed to zero. This could be defined as the boundary of the Solar system (about 10.6 Billion miles away)
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.
