Seems like what I would have expected, not a sudden shift from our Sun's particles to those from "outside", but a neutral zone where they both seem to equally counteract each other. In perspective to stellar distances, this still could be considered a super thin line, 122 A.U. is nothing n the grand scheme of things, and that's Voyager I's total trip so far, not just the part where they thought the soloar system would end and the universe proper would begin. Then again, I'm no scientist, so what would I know? On Mon, Dec 3, 2012 at 7:33 PM, Daniel Holmes <danielh@holmesonics.com>wrote:
It discovered a previously unknown edge of the solar system boundary. Pretty cool stuff.
