Voyager 2 - Updates on the Journey to Interstellar Space

Explore the latest updates on NASA's Voyager 2 mission as it approaches interstellar space in this 31-minute press conference from the AGU Fall Meeting 2018. Delve into the unprecedented observations gathered by Voyager 2's instruments as it travels through the heliosphere, the Sun's vast bubble of solar wind. Learn about the differences between Voyager 1 and 2's journeys, and discover how Voyager 2's unique path has provided scientists with valuable data on the nature of space beyond our solar system. Gain insights from expert panelists as they discuss topics such as heliophysics, the heliopause, plasma parameters, and the local galactic bubble. Understand the significance of November 5th as the official date for Voyager 2 leaving the heliosphere, and compare its findings with those of Voyager 1. Engage with questions from reporters and explore the implications of these missions for our understanding of interstellar space and the potential for life on other planets.
