Voyager 2 Discovered Something Strange at the Edge of Our Solar System
Description: NASA launched Voyager 2 in 1977. Nearly 50 years later, the spacecraft is still revealing extraordinary secrets about our solar system and the mysterious space beyond it.
This video explores 50 incredible discoveries made by Voyager 2, from the frozen landscapes of Uranus and Neptune to the strange conditions at the edge of the Sun’s protective heliosphere. During its historic journey, Voyager 2 discovered new moons, revealed Neptune’s violent storms and supersonic winds, photographed icy volcanic eruptions on Triton, and uncovered the unusual magnetic fields surrounding the outer planets. Its images also helped scientists investigate the possibility of hidden oceans beneath distant moons. Then, in 2018, Voyager 2 crossed the heliopause and entered interstellar space. Its instruments detected a dramatic increase in cosmic rays, surprising changes in plasma density, and a scorching but incredibly thin region sometimes called the “wall of fire.” Even decades-old Voyager data continues to produce new discoveries as scientists develop better ways to analyze it.
From Jupiter’s rings to the boundaries of interstellar space, Voyager 2 has shown us that our cosmic neighborhood is far stranger than we ever imagined.
