Voyager 2 has detected the dynamic, complex nature of the edge of the solar system.

                                       
Voyager 2 reported back from outside the solar system, voyager 2 has reached the interstellar space, interstellar space is called the outer part of tha solar system.voyager 2 is called the second ambassador of humanity, because like voyager 1 it was left to find another civilization.Voyager 2 reported back from the frontiers of the solar system, with the message that the boundary of the Sun's field is a complex and ever-changing place.

Voyager 2 broke through heliopause last year, what is heliopause? The "bubble" of the heliosphere is continuously inflated" from the plasma arising from the Sun, known as the solar wind, it is a kind of bubble made of plasma.voyager 1 encountered heliopause on 25 August 2012, when voyager 1 measured an increase in plasma density nearly forty times.Heliopause was detected on 5 November 2018 by Voyager 2.Heliopause marks the boundary between matter arising from the Sun and matter arising from the rest of the galaxy.Voyager 2 has overtaken the heliosphere, and reached space.Voyager 1 and 2 These explorers are "taking mankind to new places amazingly, 60 years ago than we ever imagined, says Gary Zank,a space physicist at the University of Alabama at Huntsville.

The view outside the window of Voyager 2 changed on November 5, 2018, when the craft was about 17.8 billion kilometers from the Sun, 119 times farther than Earth, and densified the surrounding plasma by about 20 times.voyager 2 is now in its extended mission to study the outer reach of the solar system, voyager 2 has a tenure of 42 years, 2 months and 25 days, on 14 November 2019, via voyager 2 from NASA Deep Space Network  Keeps in touch with  Researchers report that voyager 2 has released protective magnetic bubbles from the Sun.Voyager 1 had already reached heliopause, but one advantage of voyager 2 was that it had a working sensor that could measure the speed, and temperature density, of the surrounding plasma. The sensors in voyager 1 stopped long before reaching heliopause, so researchers had to detect many plasma properties from other measurements, which were not as accurate as direct measurements.Voyager 1 and 2 are doing both of these despite facing heliopause at different times and places.Voyager 1 sailed through the massively stable solar wind for two years before reaching Heliopause, while the stream of solar particles along the Voyager 2 was quick and steady to the limit.At the same time, voyager 1 encountered galactic material intruding into solar bubbles. While voyager 2 instead observed far-reaching solar particles in interstellar space.

Five spacecraft have been sent so far, and it is still in space, but voyager 2 is the only one that sent back reports. Launched in 1972 and 1973, the voyager 2 is a spacecraft launched by NASA on 20 August 1977 to study outer planets. voyager 2 stopped working 10 years ago.  On January 19, 2006, New Horizons were launched by an Atlas V rocket directly from Cape Horevans Air Force Station at a speed of approximately 16.26 km / s (10.10 mi / s; 58,500 km / h) in Earth- and solar-escape trajectories.Which began its approach phase on Pluto, on 15 January 2015.  On 14 July 2015, it flew 12,500 km (7,800 mi) above the surface of Pluto, and it first detected the dwarf planet, New Horizons recently detected a possible glow of hydrogen gas at the edge of the solar system. But this craft may be out of power even before reaching Heliopause.By early 2030, NASA is considering launching a dedicated interstellar probe.

NASA/ESA Hubble Telescope Captures Image of Supernova to Aid Distance Measurements.

  The Hubble Space Telescope has recently captured a striking image of a supernova-hosting galaxy, located approximately 600 million light-years away in the constellation Gemini. This image, taken about two months after the discovery of supernova SN 2022aajn, reveals a bright blue dot at the center, signifying the explosive event. Although SN 2022aajn was first announced in November 2022, it has not yet been the subject of extensive research. However, Hubble's interest in this particular supernova lies in its classification as a Type Ia supernova, a type that is key to measuring cosmic distances. Type Ia supernovae occur when a star's core collapses, and they are particularly useful for astronomers because they have a predictable intrinsic brightness. No matter how far away a Type Ia supernova is, it emits the same amount of light. By comparing its observed brightness to this known luminosity, astronomers can calculate how far away the supernova — and its host galaxy — are from...

Solar Storm Shocker: Earth Gets a Cosmic Makeover with Two New Radiation Belts!

  The May 2024 solar storm formed two new radiation belts between the Van Allen Belts, with one containing protons, creating a unique composition never observed before. Picture this: May 2024, the Sun throws a massive tantrum, sending a solar storm hurtling toward Earth. The result? Stunning auroras light up the skies, GPS systems go haywire, and—wait for it—Earth gets two brand-new *temporary* radiation belts! That’s right, our planet just got a cosmic upgrade, thanks to the largest solar storm in two decades. And no, this isn’t a sci-fi movie plot—it’s real science, folks!   Thanks to NASA’s Colorado Inner Radiation Belt Experiment (CIRBE) satellite, scientists discovered these new belts, which are like Earth’s Van Allen Belts’ quirky cousins. Published on February 6, 2025, in the *Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics*, this discovery is a game-changer for space research, especially for protecting satellites and astronauts from solar storm shenanigans. ...

Tropical Cyclone Sean Hits Western Australia, Breaking Rainfall Records and Causing Damage.

  On January 17, 2025, a tropical low formed over the Indian Ocean off Western Australia. By January 19, the system had intensified into Tropical Cyclone Sean, marking the second tropical cyclone of Australia’s 2024–2025 season. NASA’s Terra satellite, using the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) instrument, captured a detailed image of the storm at around 10 a.m. local time (02:00 Universal Time) on January 20, 2025. Later that same day, Cyclone Sean reached its peak strength as a Category 4 storm. Despite staying offshore and not making landfall, Cyclone Sean still brought significant impacts to the Pilbara coast. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) reported that Karratha, a coastal city in the region, received a staggering 274.4 millimeters (10.8 inches) of rain in just 24 hours, setting a new single-day rainfall record for the city. The powerful storm caused widespread flooding, with roads submerged, homes affected, and power infrastructure damaged. Se...
