Interplanetary automatic probe Voyager-1 entered the new the area on the edge of the solar system and after its intersection will exit into interstellar space. It is reported by ITAR-TASS with reference to NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In the border region Solar system force lines of the Sun’s magnetic field are connected with the magnetic field lines of interstellar space. Scientists believe that the area where Voyager is currently located is within our planetary system since the direction of the lines the magnetic field there is the same as in other areas along the way a probe. It is assumed that when the device goes beyond The solar system, the direction of the lines of the magnetic field will change. So far, Voyager-1 is still in the solar system, but it the last part of his journey into interstellar space. Voyager-1 was launched into space in 1977. During this time he, moving with at a speed of 17 kilometers per second, 18 miles away from the Sun billion kilometers. The probe becomes the first space civilization an apparatus that extends beyond the limits of the solar system into the interstellar space. Voyager-1 overcomes several billion kilometers more than its “twin” Voyager-2. He is the messenger of mankind, flying record-breaking far from his native the planet. Over 35 years, the probes took photographs of Jupiter and Saturn, and also allowed scientists to learn more about Uranus and Neptune.
