You had me wonder for a bit, then I found that the NASA disclaimer seem to be referring to this item.
Though they do not say with certainty that Voyager are in interstellar space: "However, Webber notes, scientists are continuing to debate whether Voyager 1 has reached interstellar space or entered a separate, undefined region beyond the solar system." Edit: And the headline in the piece I linked were changed to the more neutral "...entered a new region of space" a short while after my post were made. And here's the actual paper in preprint. |
