Sep 25, 2013 at 14:54 | comment | added | john3103 | Part of the problem is we don't really know what interstellar-space is going to be like. Voyager is the first probe that's close, so we're kinda learning as we go as to what the boundary actually looks like. There's some pressure to declare that Voyager made it to interstellar-space (as it is a noteworthy milestone); but in many ways we won't know if it has until other probes return similar results. | |

Sep 25, 2013 at 8:33 | comment | added | TildalWave | The question is OK, but I'm not really sure your own answer draws any clear conclusions. For the time being, we have measures by one probe and in one direction. If you look at any termination shock boundary, you'll notice it's hardly a clear cut line to be drawn and we'd average it out to have a finite value to work with. And you'd obviously need more than a single measure to calculate the average. So we could also just say the answer is: NASA says so. And so they did, about a humpteen number of times by now. Pick any answer between yes and no. ;) | |
