- The bubble is leaking—both ways. Voyager 2’s exit from the bubble was not without surprises. According to the data, the bubble was “very leaky,” says Stamatios Krimigis of Johns Hopkins University, the lead author of one of the new papers.
- The boundary of the bubble is more uniform than we thought. Before the Voyager missions, scientists predicted that the solar bubble just sort of dissolved into interstellar space as you ventured farther and farther from the sun.
- The makeup of the heliopause itself can vary by location.
- The sun’s influence goes beyond the solar system. The sun consistently spews out shock waves of plasma called coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which help shape the rest of the solar system.
Voyager 2, on the other hand, is roughly 20 billion kilometers away, or 1,111.88 light minutes. That converts to 18.53 hours, one-way. Edit: When you consider the fact that radio waves move at the speed of light, and light takes 8 minutes to get to Earth from the Sun, it give you an idea how far away those two spacecraft really are.

Jul 29, 2015 · Looking at the graph below, it appears that Voyager 2 started at just over escape velocity of the solar system. Just before the Jupiter flyby, it was travelling much slower than escape velocity. Presumably, travelling to Jupiter the only thing that would have changed the probe's velocity is the Sun's gravity.

Voyager 2. Heliocentric positions of the five interstellar probes (squares) and other bodies (circles) until 2020, with launch and flyby dates. Markers denote positions on 1 January of each year, with every fifth year labelled. Plot 1 is viewed from the north ecliptic pole, to scale. Plots 2 to 4 are third-angle projections at 20% scale.
