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. |

I like your link Roby72. It seems that Voyager 2 will soon catch up Pioneer 10. Pioneer 11 and the two Voyagers travel toward the sun apex direction, but Pioneer 10 takes the opposite direction. If the heliosphere has a bubble shape, Pioneer 10 could indeed have already crossed the heliopause. But if it has an elongated, comet-like shape as predicted by many models, Pioneer 10 would be very fare from leaving the influence of the solar wind.
