Voyager 2 Reaches Interstellar Space and Finds a Fiery Boundary No One Expected
As Voyager 2 crosses into the mysterious boundary of interstellar space, it has encountered something scientists are calling a “Wall of Fire.” But what exactly is this wall, and what does it mean for the future of space exploration? In this video, we unravel the discovery, starting with what Voyager 2 and its sibling, Voyager 1, were designed to do. Launched over four decades ago, these spacecraft have journeyed farther than anything humanity has ever sent out into the cosmos. The so-called Wall of Fire is a region of space beyond the Heliosphere, where the sun’s influence wanes and interstellar space begins. While Voyager 1 gave hints of plasma buildup, Voyager 2's readings revealed something far denser and hotter than expected. It detected high concentrations of plasma, potentially originating from solar particles trapped at the boundary, forming what appears to be a fiery shield between our solar system and the galaxy beyond . Even more surprising are signs that the Heliosphere might be leaking, contributing to this strange barrier. NASA scientists also discovered new behavior in magnetic fields, challenging long-held beliefs about how our solar system is magnetically insulated.
