Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object in space, has crossed the termination shock, the last major threshold in the solar system, team members announced today at the annual American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana. |

Wonderful, even though those two items I posted in August did convince me, it did not take that long for the rest of the space science community jumped onto the bandwagon this time. =)
And djellison is right, news media is excused but a bit embarrassing to see AAAS stating V1 have left the solar system The Oort cometary region is still far ahead. A NASA page has gone up now: NASA Spacecraft Embarks on Historic Journey Into Interstellar Space |
