Washington, 5 Dec (EFE).-the probe Voyager 1, human ingenuity which is farthest from the Earth, has entered into the boundary of our solar system and could reach the unknown in a matter of months, interstellar space reported today the NASA.

Scientists hope to learn about new data issued from the Voyager 1 to confirm the time in which the probe, launched in 1977, leave the heliosphere, up to which arrive the energetic particles emitted by the Sun and area that protects the planets in the radiation of space outside.

The Voyager has already traveled nearly 18,000 million kilometers, and according to the release of Nasa, he could overcome the bubble of the heliosphere and the influence of the magnetic field in “a few months or years”.

“Have found that the solar wind is slow in this region and blows from erratic way.” For the first time, it even moves backward. “We are traveling in a completely new territory,” said Rob Decker, one of those responsible for measuring the probe’s instruments

“Should not expect much to find out how it really is space between the stars”, said Ed Stone, scientific project Voyager in the Institute of technology in Pasadena, State of California, United States.(UU.).

The data indicating their status comes from the probe sensors, which have detected an increase in the intensity of the magnetic field, because that is the edge of the heliosphere, where radiation in interstellar space compress the limits of the zone of influence of the Sun.

The Voyager 1, which also carries a message about man and its place in the universe, measured radiation incoming and outgoing to determine its passage through the boundaries of the system solar.

Probe has detected a reduction of energy particles emitted from the Sun, which now are two times less abundant than in the previous five years, while it has detected one hundred times more electrons from interstellar space flow since mid-2010.
