NASA's Voyager Found a 30k-50k Kelvin "Wall" at the Edge of Solar System
SMRTR summary
NASA's Voyager probes, launched in 1977, have reached the edge of our Solar System, known as the heliopause. This boundary, where the Sun's magnetic field meets interstellar space, features a "wall of fire" with temperatures reaching 30,000-50,000 kelvin. Voyager 1 crossed this threshold in 2012, followed by Voyager 2 in 2018. The probes continue to send data from beyond the Solar System, revealing surprising findings about magnetic fields and helping scientists better understand the dynamics of this cosmic frontier.
