Voyager 2’s Final Discovery SHOCKS the World!
Voyager 2 just turned back and what it discovered WAS IMMEDIATELY DECLASSIFIED
1. The SetupLaunched in 1977, Voyager 2 has traveled over 12 billion miles (20 billion km) from Earth.It crossed the heliopause in 2018, officially entering interstellar space.NASA still maintains contact, though with very limited power.
2. The Twist — “Turning Back”
In reality, Voyager 2 can’t literally turn around — it’s coasting forward forever.
But scientists commanded the probe to recalibrate and reorient its instruments back toward the solar system to take rare measurements.
This maneuver gave us a glimpse of how interstellar space interacts with the Sun’s outer bubble.
3. The Discovery
When Voyager “looked back,” it recorded surprising data:
A Magnetic Wall: The solar system’s magnetic boundary is stronger than expected, almost like a shield holding back interstellar plasma.
Energetic Particles: Voyager detected unusual streams of cosmic rays, partly blocked and bent by the heliopause.
A Hidden Pressure Zone: Instead of a smooth fade, the solar wind collides with galactic forces in a compressed boundary layer, something NASA scientists had only theorized.
