NASA's Voyager I hit by third solar 'tsunami' - CNET

Data from this newest tsunami wave generated by our sun confirm that Voyager is in interstellar space -- a region between the stars filled with a thin soup of charged particles, also known as plasma.

The mission has not left the solar system -- it has yet to reach a final halo of comets surrounding our sun -- but it broke through the wind-blown bubble, or heliosphere, encasing our sun. Voyager is the farthest human-made probe from Earth, and the first to enter the vast sea between stars.

I'm astonished that it is still transmitting data after all this time.

Infinity split again

Pretty dammed impressive piece of engineering.

Everytime I hear about Voyager, I think of that.

Voyager is still sending back data. It went a bit goofy for a bit but engineers were able to fix it and according to them, the little space craft is operating perfectly. Hard to believe that this satellite was launched 45 yrs ago and a mind bending 14.5 billion miles away from earth traveling in interstellar space.

It is a fantastic piece of engineering. Must have been phenomenal to be a part of the voyager team. I remember how awe struck I was when the issue of National Geographic arrived with the picture on the cover of a volcanoe errupting off of the edge of IO. Truly a wake up to the universe and an indication that everything up there wasn't as "dead" as our moons surface had proven to be.

almost 2 years since we heard from jplinville ...

Amazing. Here we are still arguing about gas vs electric.
