Short History of Solar System

short history of solar system

NASA's Voyager is going to exit the solar system which is a historical achievement.Voyager 1 was launched initially by NASA to study the Saturn and Jupiter. After doing that it was sent to another trajectory to take it out of the solar system. It is being suggested that Voyager One is now at the very edge of the solar system. It is now close to entering the interstellar space after the travel of 18 billion km in 35 years.

Saturn was passed on November 13th 1980 and Jupiter just one year before on March 5th 1979 by the Voyager One. NASA also launched Voyager 2 which is now placed at 15 billion Km from the sun. Both the Voyagers are in Heliosheath (the outer region of Heliosphere) which is about 3.7 billion to 4.7 billion km wide in space as believed by NASA.

Once the Voyagers pass the Heliopause (the outer layer of Heliosheath), they will be in the Interstellar space.
