Faint interstellar plasma waves detected by NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe
An article published in the journal “Nature Astronomy” reports a study on the faint interstellar plasma waves detected by NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe. A team of researchers led by Stella Koch Ocker of Cornell University used a series of detections conducted by Voyager 1 while traveling a total distance that is about ten times the average distance of the Earth from the Sun which gives an idea of the characteristics of the interstellar plasma when it’s not altered by events related to solar activity.
