Far Out: Voyager 1 Might Be Over The Edge Into Deep Space
For the past decade, scientists have been waiting for the Voyager 1 spacecraft to cross into deep space. New research suggests it has left the solar system, but other scientists say it's still inside the sun's sphere of influence. (This piece initially aired Aug. 19, 2013, on Morning Edition.)

The Voyager 1 probe has become the first man-made object to enter interstellar space, NASA announced today.
Scientists report they have strong evidence that the unmanned spacecraft has crossed the magnetic boundary separating our solar system's sun, planets and solar wind from the rest of the galaxy. The announcement comes more than 36 years after the unmanned spacecraft lifted off on a journey that gave humans close-up views of Jupiter and Saturn before heading toward deep space. Ref. CNN

Those are exciting news. This spacecraft was launched in 1977 and is the first craft that has ever left the solar system.
QUOTE It's official: Voyager 1 has slipped from the solar system.
Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 traveled past Jupiter and Saturn and is now more than 11.66 billion miles (18.67 billion kilometers) from the sun, becoming the first spacecraft to enter interstellar space. Proof of this long-anticipated milestone for the storied spacecraft comes in a study released Thursday by the journal Science and announced at a celebratory NASA headquarters briefing.
"We made it! We are in interstellar space," Said Voyager scientist Ed Stone of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, speaking at the briefing.
Solar storm aftershocks at the edge of the solar system provide confirmation that the Voyager 1 spacecraft made the passage on August 25, 2012, space agency scientists said Thursday.
On that date, Voyager 1 passed beyond the fringes of the sun's outward-flowing solar wind and into the interstellar space between the stars.
"It is an incredible event, to send the first human object into interstellar space," Says study lead author Donald Gurnett of the University of Iowa in Iowa City. "It's not quite the moon landing, but we are where the solar wind ends... Source 3

Voyager 1
Voyager 1 fires up thrusters after 37 years. A set of thrusters aboard the Voyager 1 spacecraft successfully fired up Wednesday after 37 years without use. Since 2014, engineers have noticed that the thrusters Voyager 1 has been using to orient the spacecraft, called "Attitude control thrusters," have been degrading. Source 7m.
