Shocking Discoveries Voyager 2 Made at the Edge of the Solar System

Voyager 2 has traveled farther than almost any spacecraft in human history, crossing the outer planets and moving into the mysterious boundary where the Solar System begins to fade into interstellar space. But what it discovered near the edge of the Sun’s influence shocked scientists. As Voyager 2 passed through the heliosphere and entered the dark frontier beyond, it detected strange particles, unexpected magnetic fields, powerful cosmic rays, and a region far more active than anyone once imagined. Instead of finding a quiet, empty void, Voyager 2 revealed that the edge of the Solar System is a turbulent battlefield between the solar wind and the vast ocean of interstellar space.
