... 2003 November 20 . Voyager at 90 AU . Illustration Credit: Walt Feimer, NASA . ... Well beyond the orbits of the outer planets, Voyager 1 is believed to be entering the realm of deep space near the edge of the heliosphere , the region dominated by the solar wind and magnetic field. Causing some debate , new results from instruments still operating have given indications that the spacecraft could finally be encountering a fluctuating boundary known as the solar wind's termination shock. ...
