THIS JUST IN!

NASA’s Voyager 2 probe has zoomed past the edge of the heliosphere, out of our solar system and officially into interstellar space. It is the second human-made object to journey into this great beyond, after its big sibling, Voyager 1, which did it in 2012. Remarkably, Voyager 2’s gear — including a cosmic ray subsystem, a low energy charged particle probe, and a magnetometer — still functions. The probe launched in 1977. Godspeed out there in the darkness.
