NASA Voyager 1 spacecraft comes to the edge of the solar system

On June 27, NASA announced that the Voyager 1 spacecraft flew to the outer edge of the solar system and will operate here for months, even years.

>>>Voyager 1 ships are about to "cross the border" from the solar system

According to AFP news agency, NASA's space-based explorer ship in 1977 is sending precious data about the final border area of the solar system , called 'highways' by scientists. magnetic'.

'All attention is pouring into the last area in front of the interstellar space thanks to Voyager 1, a reconnaissance device operating from the most remote distance of humans' - AFP quoted the scientist Ed Stone of the California Institute of Technology.

Voyager 1 is currently about 18 billion kilometers from the sun, 122 times more than the distance from the earth to the sun.The 'magnetic field highway' allows particles to move out into the solar system in a smooth magnetic field.

Scientists have begun to discover that low-energy cosmic rays originating from stars are dying for the first time since Voyager 1 left Earth. NASA describes Voyager 1 and 2 as "the most distant representations of humanity and the desire to explore".

Voyager 2 left Earth on August 20, 1977 and Voyager 1 followed on September 5, 1977. The goal of Voyager is to study the largest planets in the solar system, Jupiter and Saturn.

In 1979 and 1980, two Voyager ships sent extremely sharp images of Jupiter and Saturn to Earth. Later, two NASA ships turned to study Uranus and Neptune. The images of these two planets were transferred to Earth in 1986 and 1989.

After that, the two ships continued to function perfectly. NASA decided to continue using them to exploit information about the universe. In 1989, when Voyager 1 flew over Neptune, NASA scientists decided to turn off its camera to save energy.

Voyager 1 continues to send radio signals to Earth. These signals take 17 hours to reach the earth. Voyager 1 is expected to run out of energy completely by 2025. Voyager 2 is still active in the solar system, about 14.48 billion km from the sun.
