As they near the outer reaches of the solar system, for the past several years the two Voyager spacecraft have been sending back observations that challenge scientists' views of the physics at the ...

The edge of the solar system is a turbulent place, filled with a roiling sea of huge magnetic bubbles, new research suggests. The find, made with the help of observations from NASA's venerable Voyager ...

This incredible story officially began in April 1977, when NASA dispatched the first of two probes—known as Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, respectively—to explore the outer gas giants. Once those objectives ...

This artist’s concept shows NASA’s two Voyager spacecraft exploring a turbulent region of space known as the heliosheath, the outer shell of the bubble of charged particles around our sun. After more ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

NASA's sun-focused STEREO spacecraft unexpectedly detected particles from the edge of the solar system last year, allowing University of California, Berkeley, scientists to map for the first time the ...

Endeavour may be grounded, but Voyager just keeps on going. NASA experts noted that more than 30 years after the twin Voyager probes set sail for space, they are now poised on the edge of the solar ...

Almost every day, the great antennas of NASA’s Deep Space Network turn to a blank patch of sky in the constellation Ophiuchus. Pointing at nothing, or so it seems, they invariably pick up a signal, ...

A venerable NASA spacecraft could pop out of our solar system into interstellar space as early as next year, a new study suggests. The Voyager 1 probe, which is now about 11 billion miles from Earth, ...
