ack, I have some more innocent questions:
Are there interstellar elements still floating inside the solar system? Towards us? Has Voyager 1 and/or 2 helped determine that distinction? |

Oh there have been several spacecraft that have detected interstellar particles IBEX and Ulysses are two of those, the Stardust mission were to collect interstellar material, and I tend to think that also the Deep impact/EPOXI spacecraft did enter a stream of material thought to have originated outside the solar system. So there might be plenty more to find also if future spacecraft are provided with instruments to detect such. |
