Voyager 1 Is Finding Things That Don’t Make Sense

More than 15 billion miles from Earth, Voyager 1 is flying through an environment we completely misunderstood. When the 1970s spacecraft crossed the edge of the Sun’s magnetic bubble, it didn’t find a quiet, empty void. It found a dense, magnetized plasma storm.

This video breaks down the physics of the interstellar medium, the unexpected draping of the galactic magnetic field, the near-fatal 2024 memory glitch, and the brutal thermal triage keeping humanity’s furthest mission alive as its nuclear power supply slowly fades in the dark.
