Going interstellar with a sun-skirting probe APLs Interstellar Probe will slingshot around the sun to explore the outer reaches of the universe By Adam Hadhazy / Published Spring 2021 Hows this for a paradox: In order to go farther from the sun than weve ever gone before, first we must go closer to the sun than ever before. Thats the counterintuitive concept at the heart of the Interstellar Probe mission in development at the Johns Hopkins Applied Phy...

A graphic representation of the heliosphere, a vast bubble-like structure defining the extent of the solar wind and the Sun’s electromagnetic influence on the local environment. The heliosphere is distorted by the solar system’s motion through the interstellar medium. A proposed Interstellar Probe would venture much farther into interstellar space than either of NASA’s Voyager spacecraft.

Mysterious News Briefly — April 28, 2021 Days after the four astronauts heading to the ISS in a SpaceX capsule were ordered back into their spacesuits because of a potential collision with orbiting junk, U.S. Space Command issued a statement that there was no object and the false alarm is under review. Wanna-believers think an alien space command is also investigating a malfunctioning cloaking device. Wolf researchers say the commonly held belief that wild packs have a power and mating hierar...

Interstellar space probe to boldly go even further NASA scientists to unveil planning for an interstellar space probe at the EGU General Assembly Image credit: Johns Hopkins APL A new interstellar space probe, currently in its planning phase, will boldly go where no probe has gone before according to a new paper due for presentation at this year’s European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly. The NASA probe, currently dubbed the Interstellar Probe, will go further into interstellar space...

 E-Mail IMAGE: Scientists hope the proposed Interstellar Probe will teach us more about our home in the galaxy as well as how other stars in the galaxy interact with their interstellar neighbourhoods. view more  Credit: Johns Hopkins APL MUNICH -- When the four-decades-old Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft entered interstellar space in 2012 and 2018, respectively, scientists celebrated. These plucky spacecraft had already traveled 120 times the distance from the Earth to the sun to r...

In 2018, NASA announced that the Voyager 2 probe had joined the Voyager 1 probe in reaching interstellar space, an area of space outside the solar wind's grasp. This year, on April 17th, the space agency celebrated the New Horizons probe reaching 50 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun, or 50 times the distance between Earth and the Sun. Now, NASA plans to go even further.

NASA plans to send a probe where no probe has been before, flying to the edge of the heliosphere by the early 2030s to understand how the solar system formed. The heliosphere is the bubble of space surrounding the sun and enclosing all the planets, from Mercury to Neptune and is affected by solar winds. So far Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, launched in 1977, are the only probes to venture outside the heliosphere, currently 14 and 11 million miles from Earth respectively. The Voyagers discovered the ...

NASA and partner agencies detail new Interstellar Probe mission Shane McGlaun - Apr 27, 2021, 5:09am CDT The first objects made by humans to travel into interstellar space were Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. The spacecraft transitioned into interstellar space in 2012 and 2018, respectively, after being in space for more than four decades. Researchers can mark when the spacecraft entered interstellar space because they left the protective heliosphere created by the sun. It’s been ...
