Science (as well as the BBC, CNN, infact almost everyone) makes the wrong claim ( left the solar system) rather than the claim the paper that science is publishing ACTUALLY makes ( entered interstellar space )
The two are not one and the same - very important distinction to make. In terms of the number of objects orbiting our Sun - Voyager will be passing them by for another 300 years. |
