NASA''s Voyager probes have uncovered a searing-hot mystery at the edge of our solar system—a vast, invisible barrier hotter than most stars.
A ''firewall'' at the edge of our solar system (heliopause, if you please) that registers temperatures of between 30,000 and 50,000 degrees? It''s true, and we can thank Voyager 1
NASA''s Voyager probes have reached the heliopause and uncovered a 30,000–50,000 K "wall" of hot plasma at the Solar System''s edge. This video explains what it
