The Voyager science team doesn't think the wind has disappeared in ... Energy Charged Particle instrument can act like a kind of weather vane to see which way the wind is now blowing," said ...

The solar wind's outward flow has not yet diminished to zero where Voyager 2 is exploring, but that may happen as the spacecraft approaches the edge of the bubble in the years ahead, researchers said.

Voyager 1, the little spacecraft that could, is nearing the edge of the solar system and continuing to prove theorists wrong about solar wind — the massive outflow of particles produced by the sun.

Voyager 2 seems to be doing well for a 30-year-old probe built with technology that's out of date compared to a cell phone. Yesterday, Matt described the processes that create the solar wind, the ...

In April 2010, Voyager 1 reached a point about 113 AU from the Sun and saw the solar wind velocity began slowing down dramatically. (1 AU, or astronomical unit, is the average distance from Earth ...

Voyager 1 reaching edge of the solar system, a region where the sun's influence wanes and the speed of the solar wind's outflow is zero, scientists report. Latest zone for Voyager 1: heliopause.

A solar wind event squashed the protective bubble around Uranus just before Voyager 2 flew by the planet in 1986, shifting how astronomers understood the mysterious world.

In its journey beyond the boundary of the solar wind’s bubble, the probe observed some notable differences from its twin, Voyager 1. Skip to content Skip to site index.
