Voyager Probes Detect Strange Increase in Interstellar Density

Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only spacecraft to operate outside the heliosphere, the Sun's protective bubble. Voyager 1 reached the interstellar boundary in 2012 while Voyager 2, traveling slower in a different direction, reached it in 2018. Both probes continue to send data back to Earth. In October 2020, astronomers detected a significant unexpected increase in density beyond the Solar System as measured by both Voyager probes. NASA plans to upgrade the software on both Voyagers, starting with Voyager 2 due to its proximity to Earth. Voyager 1 is projected to be as far away from Earth as several nearby stars in about 50,000 years.
