>>Voyager 1, the most distant spacecraft from Earth, has reached a new milestone in its quest to leave the Solar System.

Now 17.4bn km (10.8bn miles) from home,
the veteran probe has detected
a distinct change in the flow of particles that surround it.

These particles, which emanate from the Sun, are no longer travelling outwards but are moving sideways.<<

That is SO COOL!

Wow, that is beyond cool. Do you know if Voyager will be able to continue transmitting after it crosses over? Like will the heliosphere it just left become an obstacle for transmitting back through.
