And another item on the question if Voyager 1 is in interstellar space or not.
Now described as 'competing models' it all is a sign of good science work on the matter. The magnetic lines from the sun do connect to the galactic magnetic field as described Is as far as I understand it the 'magnetic highway' that been noted. In addition, IBEX have indeed shown that there's no bow shock, so that is consistent with the alternative hypothesis. Science daily |
